Hi, my name is Karen. I am currently a school-based occupational therapist primarily working with adolescents with autism and psychiatric needs. I'd describe my personality as caring, patient, and dependable. I like caring for people with special needs because not many people have the patience and interest in finding what is truly special about each individual. As an occupational therapist I love celebrating even the smallest of victories. I'm looking for a job that is flexible. I have a full time job but I'm always looking for other opportunities and gaining experience in other areas. I have worked in health care since I was in college but I started working directly with people with special needs in graduate school. I now work in the school-based setting with adolescents with special needs. Overall a total of 8 years.
