I Graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a Bachelors in Education with a concentration in communications disorders (speech pathology). I have had many classes on speech therapy and special educations. My future plan is to go back to school and become a certified SLP that works with children. In the past I have nannied for a family with a child with special needs. I also took a class at UT where we went into Knox county schools and worked one on one with a child in CDC classes where I worked with children who had Autism, Cognitive disorders, non verbal and much more, it was one of the most rewarding experiences I had at UT. I have also had many volunteer and observation hours in the Speech and Hard of Hearing therapy center at UT. One of the most important things I learned in my time studying special education is, a disability does not make a child so you should never limited them to anything. I am willing to provide references upon request.
