I have 8 years of experience in social work working with the developmentally disabled in both group home settings to on-the-job locations. My clients ranged from high functioning adults to physically challenged; paraplegic, nonverbal, etc. Furthermore, I have extensive experience working with children who require the ABA Module. Your position requires patience, creativity, strong interpersonal and organizational skills combined with a keen ability to multitask a variety of challenges and responsibilities. I am passionate about working with children of all degrees of needs and find helping children flourish developmentally to living a peaceful and happy life brings me great joy. My most recent work was with a child who has special needs. I was a childcare specialist/nanny. I began when they were ages 4 and 6, and stayed for 3 and years. The older of the two has Asperger's syndrome, is epileptic, manic-depressive, and diabetic. I was required to follow an Applied Behavioral Analysis Module specific to the one child's needs. I was responsible for administering meds. I created numerous Tactile Specific/Developmental Arts projects that addressed the needs of both children and specific to the child. I attended a seminar in Love and Logic to help support parent's approach with addressing their children's developmental issues; socially, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually.
