I am a compassionate professional with several years experience working with children diagnosed with mental and physical disabilities. The age groups I have provided services are from infancy to college level. I have worked diligently for over 20 years providing, instruction, medication, therapeutic activities and vocational training to my son in the home and classroom. I have also assisted parents, guardians, educators, social workers and medical personnel with obtaining resources and data to better serve mentally and physically challenge persons. I have a passion for helping persons with mental and physical challenges reach their highest potential. I am sensitive to the needs of parents, students and caregivers. I have an extensive background assisting educators in the classrooms with testing, lesson planning, recreational and vocational activities. I have volunteered my services to ensure that students receive additional support in the classroom, libraries and community.
