My high school had a class where you worked with students with special needs. There were different levels of needs per classroom and I worked with the students that were severely mentally and physically impaired. It was one of my favorite classes that I took multiple times throughout my time in high school. I have also babysat for a family that had a toddler with down syndrome. I also was an assistant teacher at TutorTime. I worked with a wide age range of children, mainly the toddlers. There were multiple kids with ADD, ADHD, autism, and MD. Two of the children were nonverbal using sign language. I really enjoyed working with all of them. I am currently the lead teacher at a learning care center, with the 2-year-old classroom. While working at this center, I have had multiple children on the spectrum under my care, some verbal and some nonverbal.
