Through the teaching program I have gained clinical experience involving students ages 3-18. I have personal experience working with children who have the following disabilities or special needs: ADHD, Autism, Learning Disability, Emotional/ Behavior Disorders, Traumatic Brain Injury, Developmental Delay, among others. Though I do have prior experience, I understand that each child is an individual with individual needs and preferences. In the past, I have babysat on an occasional basis for a child with Down Syndrome, a child with ADHD, and a child with a Developmental Delay. I love working with children and I am extremely understanding and patient.

    Alyssa has worked for me in the Health and Fitness Center for 7 years. She is a remarkable young woman who is extremely kind, patient, caring and has an amazing way with kids of all ages. Alyssa fits in everywhere she is placed. Whether it is with infants, toddlers, grade school age kids or adolescents-she is comfortable with all ages. The kids beg their parents to hire Alyssa to babysit outside of work. In the 14 years that I have managed this department, rarely have I seen a coach who is just amazing in any situation. She is artistic and talented and energetic and just an all around wonderful girl. I will be sad to see her work full time and leave our facility.
