I have been working with young people with additional needs for two years. I have worked with young people with various conditions including Cerebral Palsy, Autism and Global Developmental Delay. I am calm and caring, with a love for supporting people. I have found that I really enjoy working with young people with additional needs. I find it very rewarding to help them achieve everything they possibly can within the environment. I am naturally patient, and I like finding ways to make all activities accessible no matter the level of needs. I find it easy to build a rapport with young people. I also try to be very observant to understand what they might be experiencing, even if they are non-speaking. I enjoy watching the children grow in confidence from their achievements. I have learned to keep calm in stressful situations by pre-planning and being aware of how the children I support may behave in different scenarios.
