I was born with the gift of being able to relate and connect with children and adults with disabilities. I had my first job with a teenager with special needs at the age of 17. I cannot say enough about the love and joy I receive by working with families like yours. I am kind, compassionate, witty and down to earth. I have been working professionally in the special needs community for over 10 years, working with children, young adults, adults and seniors. I am an artist and love to incorporate art into my work with your family precious clients include those with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and the elderly. I have taught art classes for several years to this population. I look forward to talking to you about your needs so we can see if we are a fit!

    I had the pleasure of meeting Lauren when we moved from Seattle almost 3 years ago. My adult son with autism wasn't at all happy with the move and his behaviors were challenging. Lauren is a great artist and she and my son quickly connected around art and did some great projects together. She's great and I highly recommend her.
