I have worked with infants, children and adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, especially with those on the autism spectrum providing 1:1 learning, individualized care, therapeutic support & training, behavioral intervention, community integration and play activities for over 25 years. This is not "my job" - this is my passion & therefore, what I do best! My experiences go into every aspect of personal care and reach into all aspects of programming: educational settings, home, summer camp as well as attending church and spiritual programming with those whom I provide support. I have transported individuals, assisted and participated in scheduled therapies, counseling, medical appointments and field trips. I've been happy to be there for families throughout the years and I can be there for you and your family member too!
