I have worked with children with many different kinds of physical and developmental disabilities at the Chileda Institute, a home and school for children with severe behavior problems. I have experience working with autism, RAD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, tubular sclerosis, fetal alcohol syndrome, and many more. Additionally, I facilitated Theater for Change and Sensory Art classes as an intern at Riverfront Incorporated. Individuals with special needs have a very special place in my heart. I believe that everyone has gifts and talents that need to be developed and shared.
