Having several relatives with special needs, such as autism and down syndrome, I have experience with children of special needs throughout my lifetime. During my time in high school, I spent my lunch period helping the kids in the special ed program with their work and socialization. Also, I taught a special needs specific swimming class at Saf-T-Swim and worked with several children with disabilities while coaching gymnastics. Since then, I have become a TA at New Hyde Park Memorial High school working specifically in the special ed department. I have worked with children with autism, down syndrome, rett syndrome, cerebral palsy and other disabilities. I am currently in college with the purpose of becoming a special ed teacher. I am passionate and determined to help these children reach their potential and live the best life possible.
