I have lived with, volunteered with and worked with kids and adults with disabilities my entire life. I have a love for brains and bodies that work differently and the amazing individuals who inhabit them. They have a level of love, passion, trust and honesty that doesn't exist in your average human. Sometimes unique needs comes with unique behaviors, but I am a firm believer in finding alternative coping skills to meet those needs. Even if they can't talk, they can still communicate, so we need to listen. I would love the opportunity to talk to you about your family members needs and how I can help.
