Hello, I am David. I've worked with autistic kids and young adults at DDI for 2 years in the past. I've also worked with pediatric cancer patients for over 15 years and served as camp director for pediatric cancer patients and siblings.

I am currently assisting an adult spinal atrophy client with basic living needs and I am also working with a few teenage kids and young adults on ASD. I am a husband and father living in Smithtown. I truly love helping all kids and young adults to become more independent. I am also happy to assist those who need physical assistance. I am currently working with kids from 2 years old to adults over 60 years old. I am also an Autism Fitness Certified Instructor. Covid 19 VACCINATED since Jan. 2021 and boosted x2.

    We had the pleasure of working with Dave a few months ago -- what a great guy! His background is very interesting and varied. My son likes Dave a lot; they were going to the gym together, cooking together, etc. Dave is mature, affable, friendly, easy-going, capable and responsible. Would be delighted to have him work with us again!!!
