I am a seasoned caregiver with a specialty in special needs care. I worked as an instructional assistant for special needs students with mild to severe disabilities, including: cognitive disabilities, autism, ADHD/ADD, Down syndrome, and physical disabilities. I have also worked as a certified nursing assistant for clients who required total patient care, with moderate to severe disabilities. I believe being an effective caregiver for individuals with special needs includes: acknowledging individuality, being sensitive to affective expressions, teaching and mentoring, being patient, being trustworthy and creating opportunities to laugh.
