Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I started working with individuals with special needs first when I was in middle school. I quickly developed a special bond with each individual in the class and would spend as much time volunteering in the class. I was soon invited to attend field trips and help monitor the group. This continued into high school where I helped those with special needs put on plays. After high school I had a few clients through private care and also worked for a company . I've worked with individuals with autism and down syndrome. Most of my clients also had a dual diagnosis of some sort of mental health. (Bi-polar, ptsd, depression, bpd, ocd, schizophrenia ect) I find I am rewarded 1000 back what I give. These individuals are truly special and I am always honored to have the opportunity to work along side of them!
