Over the last two years, I have worked extensively in schools, centers, and homes; assisting with a variety of students with special needs applying ABA techniques. I also have experience working in mainstream education, which allows me to effectively transition to whatever skill set required of me. I have learned an extensive amount of knowledge from the teacher's who have imparted their techniques to improve my own. My philosophy is simple: always put students' needs first. Secondly, model the behavior you expect them to achieve. Lastly, structure educational plans that address the overall needs of children, teens, and adults. I also work closely with parents, teachers, OT's, SLP's, to attain a holistic approach in regards to their specific goals. Thank you for your time and consideration. **I can provide references to support my experience and work regimen.** Cordially,
