I have always had a genuine passion for working with children with academic, social and communicative differences. I have worked with children diagnosed with a range of disabilities and a range of ages. I currently work at two Autism centers (many of my clients have multiple diagnoses) and do in home therapy through one of the centers. I am licensed as a speech pathologist assistant, certified in CPR and have many years of experience. I am organized, prompt and responsible. I always bring my positive attitude and naturally motivated character to everything I do. I am an open book, so please, ask away!
