Although I have not directly assisted a special needs person, doesn't mean I don't have tons of experience with it. Throughout middle school and high school I watched my dear friend live with multiple learning and physical difficulties. We met in my study skills class, because I too have learning disabilities; ADD and Dyslexia. So I have plenty of personal experience, being in special classes and having special needs. I also took care of a woman with MS for months, and know a lot about the celiac diet.

    Kathryn is working with my young adult autistic daughter providing in home and out in the community support. This can be challanging, but Kathryn is patient and responsive to my daughter's needs. She works with me on activity and learning plans and implements them so that my daughter has fun and is safe. Kathryn is friendly, responsible, careing, and a safe driver. My funding only allows me to offer her part time work, so it is only fair that I recommend her to work with others-just don't steal her!
