I have been blessed to grow up with a little sister (now 40 years old) who is in a wheelchair. She has cerebral palsy. Her cognition is somewhere in the early years. I have watched her grow and learn through each stage of life toddler/teen/adult and have been very active in her care and guidance navigating life with special needs. Though I have taken several special education classes while attending university, my qualifications are derived mostly by my practical life experience. I've cared for several children/teens/and adults with varying levels of needs from ADD/ADHD, autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, stroke, and altimeters. I especially understand the deep struggles and delights for families and individuals who have a special needs human amongst their loved ones and the importance of care and additional support for all involved. I look forward to providing the additional care and support your family needs.
