Hello! I'm K : ) I've been a professional educator and engaged ally in special education spaces for 16 years. At present, I provide enrichment-focused, relationally-oriented respite care for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. My practice is enrichment-based, meaning I aim to add to a child's wellbeing, skill-set, and life quality. This has involved: -Communication practice -Support in vocational/community tasks -Social skills practice -Making art -Outdoor play My work is also relational. I believe the greatest learning and self-actualization happen within trusting, authentic relationships. I aim to build a relationship 'at the speed of trust', through communication, consistency, and holding clients' autonomy sacred. Please reach out, and let's discuss your specific goals with respite care. Be well!
