Special Needs Care Bio With over 15 years of caregiving experience and 7 years as the director of an Occupational Therapy facility, I bring a well-rounded, professional, and deeply compassionate approach to supporting children and adults with special needs. My background includes hands-on care as well as program leadership, giving me insight into both individual support and larger care strategies. I have worked with a wide range of physical, developmental, and cognitive disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and mobility challenges. My work has included feeding assistance, mobility support, sensory integration, communication development, and collaboration with families and multidisciplinary teams. Whether providing direct care, developing therapy plans, or managing staff, I focus on building trust, encouraging independence, and fostering a safe, respectful, and engaging environment for every individual I support. I love what I do! Thanks
