I have been caring for and working with special needs children and teenagers since I was about 19. I originally worked as a respite worker for a 16-year-old male on the autism spectrum. I currently work as a behavior specialist for a company providing in - home therapy for children with autism and other developmental delays. I am very comfortable working with people with special needs and am an incredibly patient caregiver!

    Kristen worked as a camp counselor for our summer physical activity camp for children with disabilities. She has extensive experience in instruction, behavior management, and ABA. She sets her expectations high for all students and knows how to use a variety of instructional modalities to communicate with children of all ages and ability levels. I would highly recommend her!
