Hello! My name is Lizzi and I would love to help you out. I have had experience almost all my life working with children with special needs. I got involved in volunteering at NISRA when I was about 8 or 9 because my sister had worked there. I absolutely LOVED going to work with her and helping her/hanging out with everyone for the day. Then, once I was 18, I began working at WDSRA as an Inclusion Camp Counselor over summers when I wasn't in school. I worked there for two summers, but didn't go back this last because I was living in Normal. At WDSRA I worked one on one with special needs children and got them involved in the games/helped them feel comfortable socializing with the other children. While at WDSRA, I also helped out with a few "special needs" programs where it was just me and coworker doing a day camp with about 6-8 people with special needs. While living in Normal this past Winter/Spring, I was a nanny for a 5-year-old with autism. I have experience with children/adults from about 4-16. I hope to hear from you!
