Hello, my name is Emily and I am 21 years old. I have volunteered at the Children's Institute for quite some time, where I worked with children having special needs. I worked with children of all ages and diagnoses, and each and every child was unique-which is why I loved it. I started out helping in the playroom, where I interacted with and entertained the children. We would play board games, do arts and crafts, and spend time in the sensory garden. I also spent time in the Prader-Willi syndrome unit, where I participated in games and activities with the patients. Furthermore, I helped out in an endurance class, which helped students focus on their mobility skills. I would usually finish the day by heading into a special needs classroom and assisting the teachers and students with various crafts and activities. I am very passionate about working with those with special needs, and hope to continue to do so as I pursue a career in physical therapy.
