Hello! Although I am not a licensed special needs professional, my experiences with my own invisible illness (MS) and in caring for children of various needs in the school setting (diabetes, ADHD, Dyslexia, ASD, etc.) I advocate for and am prepared to provide temporary care for children with learning and behavioral needs. I have minimal experience with severe mobile disabilities, but am willing to learn, in order to provide quality care and become a more well-rounded educator.
