Special needs has been a part of my life for over 50 years because I grew up with a younger sister with Down syndrome. Professionally, I worked for the Orange County Department of Education for 24 years supporting students with autism, developmental disabilities, and other special needs. Most recently, I've continued working with one-on-one with special needs students through Zen Educate.
