I have spent many years working will all ages of people with various disabilities. I started in high school, and worked at a summer camp that provided week long camp for all ages. I was a counselor one year and then returned as program staff, planning and coordinating night time activities and arts and craft sessions. In college, I worked as a one-on-one care provider, and also for the Special Olympics as a Coach, Coordinator, and Arts and Crafts teacher.
