I have experience working with autistic children as well as other neurodiverse children. I have experience with applied behavior analysis, though I have shifted gears and want to focus more on what a child's inner experience is versus analyzing their behavior. I worked as a direct care support professional for three years at a center for disability services in MI where I worked with children and adults with special needs. We worked on getting involved out in the community along with learning new skills. We also worked on their personal care needs. Currently, I am earning hours towards my license as a marriage and family therapist. I work in a school where I meet one on one with children to support them as well as work with children out in nature. I am also teaching social and emotional learning classes to middle school aged children.
