I worked as a case manager assistant for adults with disabilities. In this capacity I worked on scheduling caregivers for clients and on occasion, worked with clients in their homes. I am currently an instructional aide for children with Autism and am also a home care provider for some of my students. I work mostly with kids age 8-15 but am willing to work with all ages. I love working with this population because I believe that there are so many things that society underestimates or misunderstands about people with special needs. I love being able to see the abilities of individuals and I am also able to appreciate the "little" things and improvements in daily life.
