I have both personal and professional experience working with individuals with special needs. My older sister has Asperger's, which has given me a deep understanding, patience, and compassion for neurodiverse individuals. I've also cared for and worked with children with a variety of special needs, including autism, developmental delays, and nonverbal communication. I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), which allows me to communicate effectively with children who are deaf, hard of hearing, or nonverbal. I am passionate about creating a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment where every child can thrive.
