I am currently in my final year of a Bachelor of Arts majoring in psychology and minoring in sociology. I am taking spring/summer terms off and am planning to finish my final term in the fall. I have about 8 years of experience working with both children and adults with special needs in a therapy group setting as well as an in-home respite care setting. I have worked with individuals with ASD, OCD, GAD, ADHD, sensory perception disorder, Down's syndrome as well as cognitive delays and intellectual disabilities, and the past 2 years I have worked with an individual with SMA. I have experience and am comfortable working with individuals with a tendency to become physically aggressive toward themselves or others. I am comfortable with cleaning and organizing the house, as well as cooking although I am not the most experienced chef. I am a hard worker and great at taking direction, as well as having a large amount of patience when working with different types of individuals.
