At 12year old, I cared, supported and developed passion for special needs because, many years ago, a family member was paralyzed from an injury. The daily duties were, administering medications, providing companionship, helping in giving ADL care, running errands, preparing meals and feeding client during mealtime, assisting with day-to-day grooming tasks, assisting toileting, cleaning, performing household tasks, laundry, making beds and monitoring clients. from there on, I have delegated my life in helping and gained compassion for all specials need populations. Furthermore, in went on to social Work school to gain more understanding and knowledge on how to find resources and support for clients and their families. And as result from schooling, I was trained to move my clients safely, knowledge in CPR, and first aid.
