Hello! My name is Kate S and I am studying Elementary Education at VCU. I also plan to pursue a Master's degree in Special Education. I have been working with individuals of all ages with special needs for several years in various settings. I volunteered with equine-assisted therapy for about 6 years and music/art therapy for a few years. I also worked as an attendant for two families who have individuals with intellectual disabilities. I have experience with communication devices and American Sign Language. As an attendant, I helped to facilitate socialization and assist with daily living activities. I am familiar with ABA therapy as well as Speech and Physical therapy because I have attended these sessions with the individuals I cared for so that the same strategies could be communicated with the parents and continued at home. I am a very active person and enjoy being outside and moving! I am also careful about COVID-19, and follow the CDC guidelines.
