Andrea S. - Portland Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Andrea S.

Part-Time, 2 Years of Experience

I have worked with adults who are developmentally disabled for the last two years. I am extremely passionate about doing teacher education for those who work with a special needs population to ensure the highest quality of care delivered in the most respectful way. I think that this is a population that is underrepresented, and I am a strong advocate for community integration. I have experience with children who have special needs as well. I have written up IEPs, worked with social workers, and am familiar with basic behavior modification, as well as a variety of communication and teaching techniques for special needs learners.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I still volunteer at my former workplace to keep up relationships with my clients. I love taking my clients into the community and exposing them to arts, community opportunities, music, and hobbies that they may then decide to take on for themselves.
