About Elissa

I'd describe my personality as caring, loyal, helpful, nurturing, responsible, independent and loving. I like working with kids because I love to see kids grow and prosper. During my last occupation of working with kids with ASD, I received so much joy in seeing those kids progress. There was a kid who was Non-verbal and with consistency he was able to sporadically tell me "I want" followed by a pointing gesture to communicate his needs. I was so elated over this huge mild-stone that I had witnessed that my dedication for helping kids through transitional learning grew 10 times more! I'm looking for a job that will allow me to use the skills the I have obtained. I am easy going but firm when I need to be. I've learned the priority of being open minded with the different ways to respond and help kids. I love being able to guide them in discovering new things about themselves and mastering things they were skeptical of.
