Shannon M. - New York Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Shannon M.

Part-Time, 3 Years of Experience

I have a master's of education in intellectual disability/autism and early childhood education. My passion for children with special needs came about when I was working as a one-on-one behavioral aide for young children with autism spectrum disorders. I have always loved working with children, and I am meant to be a teacher for children with special needs. I also have experience with children who are non-verbal (I was a behavioral aide for a year for a 7-year-old who could not speak and helped a 13-year-old who was nonverbal for a year as well).
