I have always been involved with individuals with special needs as peer helpers in school. Through college I did developmental therapy for an individual with Down syndrome. I have been a special education teacher in middle school for the past 4 years. 2 years with learning disabilities and 2 years with moderate intellectual disabilities. I love helping individuals with disabilities to reach their full potential in life!
