I have 10 years of experience, and have worked with varying severities and different disabilites during this time. I pride myself in being able to come up with fun and engaging activities that promote independence but also lead them to have fulfilling lives. I feel some of my strongest skills are empathy and compassion. These have helped in being able to understand the needs when a person who I work with is nonverbal, or engages in a behavior. I can understand the ways they are expressing themselves and what they need, by taking the time to understand and be patient with them. I can help with any personal needs. My favorite part of working with this population is how much I learn from them and they can make any bad day brighter!
