I have about 7 years of experience working as an instructional aide in a moderate-severe special needs program that serves teenagers and young adults in a public school setting. I have worked with students with various disabilities such as Down's syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, and other developmental disabilities. I've also occasionally provided care-giving to a young adult with disabilities at his home. I am available to work on most evenings, nights, and weekend days, but prefer to have Sundays off.

    Preston M. is an instructional aide at a high school where I teach students with special needs. He has worked with me for 18 months. He does an excellent job in meeting students' needs, and anticipates what is needed next. He demonstrates good work practices and safety.
