I am a full time special education teacher for children with social-emotional disabilities. I have experience working with children within residential and educational settings. I have worked with ages 3-25 with a wide range of abilities. I worked as a Personal Care Attendant for a woman with Cerebral Palsy and have experience with lifts and transfers. I also worked as a PCA for a young girl with Down Syndrome and a non-verbal disability. Both PCA positions required assistance with ADLs such as bathing, toileting, changing, cooking and cleaning. I worked at a residential special education school as direct-care staff in a girl's dual-diagnosis behavior unit. I have experience with verbal and physical aggression and have received training in Crisis Prevention Intervention. I have a passion for working with children and young adults and have extensive experience with multiple disabilities.

Meghan was a wonderful woman to work with and caregiver to my son. She was professional on the telephone. She met with me the day before I needed her in an effort to meet my son. She was prompt on the day for her to care for my son. She was knowledgeable about the autism spectrum and had great personal interest in this population. I was very impressed by her knowledge. My son really liked her and the two appeared to have built a great relationship. I know she will be a great teacher/special education professional after she completes college because she is a great caregiver now. Thank you. Dr. P.
