I have seven years experience working with children with special needs. I have worked with kindergarten through high school students. In addition to teaching them their educational needs, I was responsible for ADL skills throughout the school day. Including but not limited to toileting and morning bathroom routines. I believe each child is special and needs to be taught and cared for in a unique way that tailors to their needs. I love to see a child learn, laugh and smile.
