I have 10 years of experience with the local school district working in mainstream and special needs classrooms. My experience is with children on the autism spectrum disorder from 3 to 21 years old. I worked 6 years as a behavior interventionist using applied behavior analysis and positive reinforcement in the Comprehensive Autism Program. Also, 3 years of experience working 1:1 with a child who had autism in mainstream classroom. I enjoy recognizing children's strengths. It's rewarding watching them grow and learn no matter what the pace of learning may be. I am pursuing my career in Occupational Therapy and can assist in teaching independence. I enjoy singing, music, and creating art. Being athletic, I also enjoy playing games and sports indoors and outdoors.

    Christine is the best aide that we have worked with in the past 4 years. She has a solid foundation and is very skillful at working with special needs kids. She's warm, approachable, and highly proactive at proposing the strategies to help my son develop. My son and his school friends / teachers all love working with Christine. We are lucky to have worked with her.
