Hi! I'm Aafia-a former special education teacher with over 9 years of experience supporting children with a wide range of developmental, learning, and behavioral needs. I hold a master's degree in Early Childhood Special Education and have worked closely with families, therapists, and clinical teams to create consistent, individualized support at home and in school settings. I'm currently looking to engage in play-based support with children who have special needs. Whether we're working on early literacy through fine motor activities, communication skills while eating lunch, or just sharing joyful, structured play outdoors, I bring patience, empathy, and a deep understanding of each child's unique learning style. I've supported children with autism, ADHD, sensory processing challenges, and developmental delays-and I always follow parent routines and instructions closely. If you're looking for someone who truly "gets it," I'd love to connect!
