I am a Mommy of a 3-year-old with autism. Autism has completely become my life, passion and drive. My son has speech, occupational and ABA therapy with which I am actively involved. He has made so much progress because of the skills and techniques I've learned from his therapy sessions and the endless amount of research I've done. I am extremely loving, patient and engaged. I always try to connect and believe in letting them show you what they need. I am certified in ABA therapy so I know how to deal with problem behaviors and how to teach new skills effectively. Aside from being a special needs mom and certified in ABA I am currently in school studying occupational therapy. I occasionally care for a 10-year-old with severe autism and he is one of the loves of my life. I've also volunteered at the special olympics. It takes a village to care for our loved ones and I'd love to join yours as I feel I have so much love and experience to offer and can truly emphasize and understand.
