I have been in the special needs field since I was 14. I have taught children with moderate to severe disabilities, physical disabilities and autism. I consider myself "called" to help children with developmental disabilities and their families. I am gifted in forming cooperative relationships with children, parents and families. I find no greater satisfaction than helping children with disabilities.
