OK certified teacher, home school recently- Teaching my own two boys, one is now 19 & 22-year-olds and my youngest is three. I am sure you would say this too: They are all very special! Developmental delays and ADHD (the older) are challenges we face and I volunteered at a Mega church in town for over 15 years (for pay 3 years of that) in ages newborn to 10-year-old childcare, that included Down syndrome and MD children included. I also worked at public schools as Special needs transport driver and aide to four children for two years each - mostly a tutor and also developmental coaching and tutoring from one child had brain injury and the other was spinal injury. Both were life altering and I spent a lot of time encouraging these youth (14 and 16-year-olds) The experience made me so appreciative of my education that prepared me to be nonjudgmental and encouraging. I was a driver for several different children to different schools, blindness and deafness included. I helped tutor two other children, ages 7 & 9 with incurable cancer. Precious times! I love teaching and helping children. I am open to learning! I am a mom of 4 and 2 grand kids I spoil.
