People with special needs are an important part of my life. I have assisted my mother with her middle school Special Ed classroom since middle school, volunteered at a parents' night out for special needs children and their siblings for 5 years, and planned and ran a cooking camp for middle-schoolers with special needs. I have a job during the school year as a caregiver for a young man, who is severely disabled. This past summer, I worked with a2-year-old with hypotonicity on meeting developmental goals. On top of this experience, my best friend has dwarfism. I've met many of her other LP (little person) friends. People with special needs have a huge place in my heart and life. I am currently in school to become a pediatric occupational therapist. I have experience with a wide range of diagnoses, and am more than willing to learn how to work with new ones.
