My youngest son had severe Cerebral Palsy. He was 8 when he passed away in 2008. I have extensive experience working with children and youths with special needs. I worked for Easter Seals for 5 years providing in home service to families. I worked for 8 years at a treatment center in Toronto with dual diagnoses children and youths. I was a nanny for 2 families. One child had severe Autism and the other Spastic Cerebral Palsy. I'm experienced with non verbal children was responsible for designing communication boards. I know a bit of sign language and willing to learn more if required. I have good knowledge on feeding tubes and suction machine; my son needed both.
