I am currently in graduate school to become a speech language pathologist and I miss being able to work with children every day. For the past 4 years I have been working in early education settings (mainly preschool classrooms) as both an assistant teacher and an instructional aide. I love working with children with special needs in particular - I suppose growing up with a brother with both Down syndrome and autism fueled that passion. I have also worked for the past 8 years at a Camp (through the Arc of New London County) which provides a quality vacation experience for adults and children 8 years old and over during the summer. It's the best!
