For the past academic year, I have been a personal assistant for an 18-year-old male with SMA- Spinal Muscular Atrophy. I have been working overnight shifts as well as fill in hours during the day. Presently, this student is attending a university and all care has been on campus/dorm. My responsibilities include COMPLETE CARE from beginning of the process of getting him up in the morning, to getting him to classes, to getting him to bed at the end of the day.
