I have had excessive interactions with children and young adults with disabilities as I have become a Certified Adapted Physical Educator, teaching children with both physical and cognitive disabilities. Working with children with disabilities is a passion. Specifically, I have had one-on-one contact with students with: Down's Syndrome, Autism, Osteogenesis Imperfecta, visual impairment, deaf, deaf/blind, ADHD, cerebral palsy, and have had contact with many other individuals as well. The only disability in life is a bad attitude!
