For the past eight years I have been working in the special needs field as a social worker. I have experience managing services, as well as direct care experience with children and adults with special needs. I have learned that this is a population I greatly enjoy working with! I feel passionate about working with the special needs population because I have seen all the potential they have and I have experienced the ways in which they brighten lives and inspire people.
