Hello! Working with individuals of all ages with Special Needs is my passion! I currently work at The Children's Center for Communication/Beverly School for the Deaf as a teacher. Also, I have numerous years coaching Special Olympic teams such as track/field, soccer, basketball, and softball. I have my Master's degree in Teacher Special Ed for Severe Disabilities along with the BCBA certification. Previously, I have spent the past 3 years providing in-home ABA therapy services. Throughout the years, I have been a camp counselor for youth with disabilities, a PCA, and other various job titles as well. With all my experience, I am also a very dedicated, energetic, caring person who would love to bring all my skills to your child. Whether it be crafts, sports, or just doing leisure activities/chatting- I will be down to do anything your child wants to do or bring new activities to them!
