I have two years of experience working with children ages 3-13 with varying emotional and behavioral diagnosis. I have such a desire working with and getting to know young children with special needs because often times they just need a friend, someone who can listen to them (even when they're non-verbal), and a caring play mate. I am so passionate about what I do because I have a 5-year-old non-verbal autistic god son who is the light of my life. Playing with him on the beach brings me the most joy I have ever experienced.
