My experience as a paraeducator includes working in specialized classrooms for students with autism, inclusion classrooms, work experience, as well medically fragile students. I have also extensively worked with students with all different modalities of communicating, such as pictures, communication devices, and sign language. I am also a certified home health aide and CPR certified as well as first aid certification with experience serving as a companion and caretaker to adults with disabilities. While I am not certified as a health provider I have a lot of professional and personal experience in the medical field and am willing to learn. I also have experience work as a job coach and supporting individuals at their place of work. I have a more complete bio along with reference upon request. I look forward to helping.
