Profile of Melinda S.

Part-Time, 2 Years of Experience

I have been currently working with two young special needs children since October. One has some mild developmental delays and sever allergies to most everything. The other has SPD and speech delays. I enjoy my time with each of the children greatly. I am currently studying to get my degree in special education. I also spent an entire school year working in an after school program. In my group I had a couple of children that had ADD and ADHD.
