My past experience while working with children that have Autism has been great! I can honestly say that most of my patience and understanding stems from this line of work. Most of the children that I have worked with were non-verbal so the learning experience was definitely mutual for both me and the child. My duties consisted on ADL care, medication administration, hands-on therapy, swimming supervision, meal prep, travel, pickups and drop offs, and behavioral therapy. Therapeutic touch was also a huge thing while working with these children and we found it to be very helpful. During the time that I worked with these families, I found it very rewarding and felt like I was really making a difference. Not only did I make a positive impact on these children's lives, but they most definitely made a positive impact on mine!
