I was a peer tutor with a severely autistic student at my school for two hours everyday. I also was the captain of three co-ed sports teams with students with and without disabilities. I have been working with students with disabilities since I was in third grade. I have several reference upon request. I also am some what fluent in American Sign Language. I do attend community college but that is flexible depending upon what you are looking for. I do know some American Sign Language. I am willing to get and pay for whatever qualifications you would like me to get. I love working with children with disabilities. I worked in Howard County school system with special education this past year.
