Forney Special Needs Adult Care

I have experience caring for adults of all ages, particularly within the special needs community. I am comfortable helping individuals with personal hygiene/diapering, making meals, assisting with feeding, housework, and running necessary errands. I transitioned from the legal field into care giving because I have a heart for helping others.

I am a certified teacher. I am certified in special education EC-12 and as a generalist grades EC-6 and 4-8. I have experience working with learning disabled students, autism, ADD/ADHD, behavior challenged students and elderly citizens. I am passionate about caring for special populations because I believe everyone deserves a chance to a quality education, help with developing socially and adapting to meet one's own personal needs.

I have experience caring for adults of all ages who have physical and/or cognitive impairments resulting from conditions such as Down Syndrome and autism. Most recently, I worked at Achievement Center of Texas in Garland. My duties included hygiene assistance/diapering, meal preparation and feeding assistance, mobility assistance, providing compassionate companionship, conflict prevention and resolution between clients, and complying with HIPPA and state laws governing neglect, abuse, and exploitation of the elderly and those with special needs. I left a lucrative career in the law to pursue caregiving. I genuinely enjoy helping those who need assistance in a personal, direct way. I can honestly say transitioning from the legal field to helping the special needs community was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I enjoy helping both children and adults of all abilities. With over 3 years of carving experience I can easily say helping others achieve their individualistic goals brings me joy!

Hi! My name is Nicole. I have been a special education teacher for 11 years. I have decided to take my love of caring for special needs individuals beyond the classroom. I am highly proficient in just about every aspect of caring for the individual needs for persons of all ages and disabilities. I see beyond disabilities and see each person for who they are. I think they sense that. I always maintain a positive and professional, yet fun and energetic atmosphere for anyone I am caring for.

I have a son who was born with developmental delays, as time went by he developed additional problems. His diagnosis was very hard to for all the providers and specialists to find. He was at an 18 month level at 15. He had to have constant care, fed, bathed, and dressed. He used communication skills and could walk about at the 18 month level. At 15 he suffered a tragedy and now is completely bedridden, tube fed, and ostomy bag, no language or no mobility. He is now 22 and is in a group home due to the 24 hour constant care he needs. I share this to let you know that my experience is with having a severely physically and mentally challenged child. I also worked with Special needs children at the Junior High and High School ages while I was continuing my education. I have worked Special Olympics since 2008. My Mother had a brother who was handicapped as well, and as a teenager I cared for him to help my grandmother. I believe there is no experience than real life.

I have book knowledge in this area, but also, I was raised in this environment with a Grandma and 2 uncles with special needs as well as a son who is now 21. I would feel blessed to use my hands on experience to help you and your loved ones enjoy one another as well as help care for them like my own in any way you see fit. Thank you for your time in reading my experience.
