I grew up with a special education teacher for a mother and a best friend with many special needs. This led me to be involved in the special education program in high school. I enjoyed it so much that I joined a club once I got to college that connected college students with high school age kids with special needs. I got a job as a Child Care Specialist at a respite care organization. I cared for children with special needs as young as 6 months and as old as 20. My duties included feedings, personal care, medication administration, and management of difficult behaviors. Our main goal at work though was to have fun with the kids in a safe environment.
