***I CURRENTLY WORK FULL-TIME IN THE SPECIAL RECREATION FIELD. However, I am periodically available to help on nights and weekends!*** I have been working with individuals with disabilities for the past 9 years in a variety of different settings. Before I graduated with my degree is B. S. Rehabilitation Services (minoring in psychology and sign language), I worked part-time as an ABA therapist assistant and a special recreation Camp Director/Program Leader. For the past three years, I have been working full-time in the Special Recreation field; training part-time staff on behavior management strategies and creative and functional recreation programming. I truly enjoy working with individuals with disabilities, no matter the functioning level or presented behaviors. I enjoy having fun with kids and adults and love creating activities that we can do together, that may improve social or emotional growth!
