I have worked for the past year in an autistic classroom as a volunteer, working one on one with the children on basic education skills and on social and communicative skills under teacher instruction. Throughout my life I have volunteered in classrooms with children who have special needs and have always been able to develop a good rapport while being able to care for them. Both my parents were special educators so most of what I have learned has come from them. I really love working with this population of children.
