I have a 20-year-old brother with Down syndrome, and as the oldest child of a family with two working parents, I was heavily responsible for his care. I learned so much from him and enjoyed looking after him so much that I decided to become a remedial teacher at a local school because of it, having also spent time volunteering as a hospice caregiver for children and adults with disabilities and at several schools for children with special needs. Eventually, I chose to study psychology, and am now pursuing a Master's degree in Child Development at Sarah Lawrence College. I also worked as a disability rights activist previously. I am extremely committed to the cause of creating a safe, inclusive and fair place for people with disabilities to flourish and am an ideal candidate to give special needs care to your loved one.
