As someone who is in school for psychology, this is an area I'm very interested in working in not just for short term but for future opportunities as well. I have family members who are on the autism spectrum, who are diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and who have either ADD or ADHD. I've always grown well knit connections with the special needs kids in school. My goal is to inspire these children, and simply be there for them to ensure a healthy mindset and healthy life. They are often times some of the funniest people I know! I love seeing the smiles on their faces when they're enjoying life.
