I grew up very closely with my cousin who has down syndrome, and I have learned so much from him. Beyond that I have taken care of special needs children through my job with a Day Camp, and am a volunteer for the Special Olympics program. I also regularly babysit a special needs child. My career goal is to become an Occupational Therapist in hopes that I can work with special needs children.
