I've worked 7 yrs in a special needs K-5 class with a variety of diagnoses, cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome, autism, seizure disorders, developmental delays, fetal alcohol syndrome, Angelman's syndrome, and a couple of other rare disorders that I've forgotten the names of. I also had a husband with ALS who was on a ventilator and g-tube. I managed his care at home for almost two years until he passed. Some of the children in the classroom also had g-tubes. For the past 4 years, I did home care as a PSW for two siblings with autism, one also had ADHD. I've learned some FloorTime methods that I often work into my work with children. I recently renewed my CPR certification. I'm very conscientious, patient, and kind. For more info see my main bio or contact me. I'm happy to talk about your child's needs and see if we're a good fit!
