I have been caring for special needs children for more than 10 years now. I know how to cook, change diapers, put a child in a stander, give a child a bath using a bath chair or other devices, work adaptive technology, know some sign language but, not fluently (Still learning). I also know how to tube feed a child, put a child in a regular wheelchair or a power chair, put braces on a child, and I know three different types of CPR and first aide. I am also trained in using a Epi Pen.
