Jonina L. - San Diego Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Jonina L.

Part-Time, 10 + Years of Experience

My 24-year-old son is on the spectrum, and I have 24 years experience in dealing with PDD, (which according to the state of California, a child may only hold this diagnosis in school until the age of 8). I have gone through special needs classes and teachers with my son in three different countries and several states. I have PUSD experience at elementary, middle school, high school and transitional levels, a mother's view from the trenches. Today my young man is an active participant in society and currently holds a job which he enjoys in the Carmel Mt. area of San Diego.
