I have been involved with the special needs community all of my life. I began working with people with special needs when my autistic and Down syndrome cousin was born 18 years ago. I have taught him how to do many things such as brush his teeth, ride his bike, and how to do personal hygiene. As a job, I have been working with children with special needs for 4-5 years now. I worked as an educator and a caregiver for students with all different types of disabilities and needs. One thing you should know about me is I love the special needs community. I believe children and adults with special needs are very special gifts from God and deserve nothing less than to feel loved and worthy and accepted for who they were created to be. My skills include a passion for helping children overcome the obstacles that come with their disabilities, patience, and determination.
