I have a Masters in Students with Disabilities and have worked in the Buffalo Public Schools primarily with students on the Autism Spectrum. I have an extensive understanding on the sensitive needs of a child on the Spectrum. My concentrated research study in graduate school focused on Autism. As a special needs educator, I am familiar with the need for routines and schedules as well as activities needed to provide the right degrees of stimulation. While I have not worked with one child specially in a home setting, I did raise a child with Asperger's who is now in college. I am quite knowledgeable in the levels of anxiety special needs children face daily.

    Alex has a kind and generous heart. She is always willing to help out expecting nothing in return.
