I have worked as a Direct Support Professional caring for those with developmental disabilities. While working for the organization that gave me the opportunity to extend my services to them, gave me certifications for Approved Medication Administration Personnel (AMAP), Strategies for Crisis Intervention and Prevention (SCIP), Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), and first aide training. I really enjoyed working with my consumers and getting to know them. Although many of them weren't able to vocalize themselves, many of their expressions spoke for them. Paying close attention to my consumers is really important for me and also having patience which I feel is a strong attribute for me. All around I'm much more comfortable working in a field where I can extend myself to others and doing whatever I can to make sure their daily life is most enjoyable.
