I worked as a paraprofessional at the Macomb Intermediate School District for 2 years. I promoted learning for students ages 3 to 26 with autism and moderate to severe cognitive impairments. I worked with a variety of disabilities helping students with simple activities to job preparation. It is here where I found my dream of working with children and young adults with autism, specially in speech and language. I love teaching children of all ages and abilities. It is important to be aware of each child's needs and characteristics focusing on each aspect of their character in order to connect with them. I recently graduated with a degree in speech-language pathology in hopes of helping children with special needs communicate with others and develop important relationships.
