I am a college student pursing a Bachelors of Science degree in Psychology. I spent the last 6 months interning at an Autism Center helping Applied Behavior Analysis Therapists with their one on one sessions with children on the Autism Spectrum Disorder. I helped assist therapists with children who ranged from low functioning to high functioning. I also did in-home sessions with the therapists which consisted of helping the child do daily activities while encouraging autonomy. I have a passion for this area, I am pursing a career that will allow me to work with special needs children so that I can contribute to making a difference in their lives. I have seen how difficult it can be for the families of these children and that is why this summer I am committed to finding a job that will allow me to put into practice the skills I have learned as well as helping a family out.
