My experience caring for individuals with disabilities began when I had my first child. He was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at age 3. 8 years my fourth child was born with Down Syndrome. I was a stay at home mom to my 4 children for 18 years when I decided to pursue a career as a Direct Support Professional as I knew that my life experience within my family had prepared me for the work that I was meant to do.
