Lori S. - San Antonio Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Lori S.

Full-Time, 10 + Years of Experience

There is nothing more rewarding than watching a child, teen, or adult get the special help and skills they need to help them grow into a more productive person. I have helped devote my time with great people with Down syndrome to asthma, ADHD, trauma, and burn ward children who were told they would also never walk or be productive citizens. One was the March of Dimes poster child for a few years. He now talks, walks, and has a bachelor's degree in computers and lives on his own. He is always an inspiration to me. My medical background has opened many doors, and with my whole heart, I enjoy helping people from all walks of life to get back to a productive life.
