I am a friendly, patient young woman with nine years experience of being a one on one caregiver for a young woman with low functioning autism, including three years of guiding her through cancer treatments and other chronic health conditions. I have experience working within the guidelines of the DDA self directed services plan, which includes taking my individual into the community for various activities. I am also a believer in the effects that music and sign language can have on individuals with limited verbal abilities and other developmental delays. I have experience with helping my client diagnose and cope with sensory overload, as well as establishing patterns to more easily and effectively learn life skills. My goal in every position is to help my client live their life as independently as possible.
