Hi, I'm Paige! I've been peer-tutoring and care-taking for Special Needs individuals for the past 5 years now. I'm a soon-graduated USU student majoring in Special Education with a mild/moderate and severe emphasis. I currently care-take for a woman with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and want to further carry out my passion for working in the care-taking field. I'll be in Boise starting May, and couldn't be more excited! I have always been able to see the full potential in the disability community and I am confident that I have developed the tools to help them reach that potential. When care-taking, I believe in the importance of setting challenging and achievable goals. I approach those goals with creativity and consistency. I'm always encouraging independence, while still targeting individual needs. The small steps we take day-by-day in the goal-reaching process lead to the biggest long-term change! The health and happiness of the individual are always my main priority.
