I have extensive background and training working with people with special needs. In addition to caring for a sibling with special needs and volunteering with students with special needs, I am also a graduate student in social work, so I have extensive education on mental/behavioral health disorders. Additionally, I taught high school for 7 years (including students with behavioral IEPs and 504 accommodations). I am passionate about helping people with special needs learn personal autonomy and independence.
