I am currently a special education Teacher's Assistant working mostly with children with autism. I am currently working on a degree in behavioral health. I have found my calling working with children, but find working with special needs to be that more rewarding. My experience with special needs is fairly diverse as most of my students struggle with multiple behavioral and developmental disorders.
