I have three children, one being diagnosed with severe Autism back in 2005. I have worked with school districts, Regional Centers, IHHS, private Speech, OT, ABA providers, Kaiser Medical providers, and with AAC specialist and psychologist. I am currently in a B. A. program to earn a degree in Psychology to continue to work with such wonderful and loving children/adults on the spectrum. I understand each individual has many different needs, plans, and goals. I would love to assist my time in assisting in all areas needed to provide protection, love, and fun. I know first hand how rewarding and special it is to see children learn and grow; consistency is a challenge and something I am familiar with! I have my own transportation and I am a pet owner and was a vet assistant before I became a mother so pets are alright with me, so am flexible in scheduling and hours! Other qualifications: My son is on the spectrum & I have been his mother/advocate/provider. I understand PEC's, Brushing therapy, ABA therapy, IEP's, etc! Special ed credits and Psychology as well.
