I have worked as a Service Support Worker for a young man who is on the autism spectrum and is also blind and nonverbal. I provided in-home care for him, including but not limited to: showering, brushing teeth and hair, assisting in the bathroom, preparing meals, administering medication, and working on both gross motor skills and fine motor skills. I also provided care in the community. We would go grocery shopping, run errands, attend church, go swimming and horseback riding, attend community events, go the park etc. We communicated via PEC and sign language. I have also volunteered over 180 hours at SPARC, an autism resource center, working with children on the autism spectrum, other developmental delays, and maladaptive behaviors. I am extremely confident working with individuals who have developmental delays and plan to have a career in a field working with such individuals!
