Rebecca L. - Philadelphia Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Rebecca L.

Part-Time, 1 Year of Experience

I am currently finishing my last year of undergrad at West Chester University. I am an art major and plan to go to grad school to get my master's in education. I worked in an autistic support classroom for a year (2007-2009 school year) in Southern York County as a personal care assistant for an 11-year-old autistic child and loved every moment of it!
Related Hobbies and Interests
While working in the autistic classroom, I not only took on the roll of personal care assistant, but watched and practiced with the autistic student speech therapy (Apraxic). I did daily art projects with all six of the autistic children in the classroom.
