I have been around people with special needs my entire life. In a preschool, I was a "typical peer" for an Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) program. My mother teaches ECSE. I have been volunteering extensively in her classroom for 6 years. I also worked at a daycare for 3.5 years, where I had special needs children in my care. I was a respite caregiver for a summer for a special needs 3-year-old. I am also a substitute para-professional who works with special needs children. I have also been volunteering at my local Special Olympics for the past five years. I believe that children with special needs are some of the most inspirational individuals I have ever met. The opportunity to work with them to help them grow is a truly humbling experience.
