I have worked with developmentally disabled children, adolescents, and adults for about nine years. I was a mother's helper when in high school where I assisted with ADLs and following a very specific behavioral and speech therapy plan. I then worked at an after school and summer Autism program for children from ages three to 17. I began working with adults in a day program setting where disabilities ranged from cerebral palsy to autism, I have experience following behavior plans, assisting with ADLs, medication administration, wheelchair safety, and community integration. I have also worked in a group home setting where I gained more experience with adults and with feeding, bathing, and basic medical care and medication administration. I love working with this population whether it be children, adolescents, or adults. I have experience and restraint training, I am aware of how to follow behavioral plans and I am experienced in handling crisis.
