I have been working in the field with troubled teens and special needs children and adults for about 12 years. I worked in a public high school working as a PSR worker, I then took a job working as a children developmental specialist/Habilitaive Intervention. I have worked with a variety of ages. I love every second of it, even on the hard days, they are very special. Each and every one of the children and adults has taught me more about life, then anyone else has. They are like everyone else, they have their good days, they have there bad days, we just need to learn how to understand how they are expressing themselves!
