I had a son with severe developmental disabilities due to cerebral palsy. Unfortunately, he passed away at age 6 from complications with CP but I was his full time caregiver his entire life. I'm also a Clinical Researcher at OHSU, and a nursing student starting in the fall at OHSU. I have extensive experience caring for a kiddo with developmental delays, severe physical limitations, non-verbal, g-tube fed, autonomic dysfunction, and medication, OT and PT needs. I also have a 7yo son with ADHD who I've tutored at home as a supplement to school and he's now 2 grade levels ahead and reading, writing and math.
