Hi parents!! My name is Emma D. I am a senior at southern Connecticut state university studying psychology with a concentration in mental health. I have extensive experience working with infants to adults with special needs. Especially autism. My brother was diagnosed with Autism when he was 2 years old. Although he is older then me, I helped raise him and continue to be with him on his journey. He has turned me into such a loving, calm, patient, and caring individual. I have worked with plenty of family's with kids with special needs, I do ABA therapy, social skills, ADLS, tutoring, being a companion in this tough tough world. I also am type 1 diabetic so I have extensive experience dealing with medication and needles.
