I have previous experience working with adolescents and children with autism, cerebral palsy, and Down Syndrome. Many of these people were either nonverbal or had limited verbal capabilities. I love working with special needs. I had two cousins with special needs that have passed away, but they were wonderful, unique people. Getting to know special needs kids and their challenges is exciting to me.
