Working in Self Contained Special Ed. Elementary Level. One on one as well as classroom para. Currently a one on one with a 10-year-old wheelchair bound boy with Mitochondrial Disease. I do work with all the children in our room, as we have several paras. Our classroom consists of all levels of disabilities. Mostly Autism and Downs Syndrome. I am very compassionate and have great patience. I respect and appreciate the struggles these children have.
