Hello, my name is Susanne I have been caring for people with special needs since I was 10 years old. (Over 40 years) I have a Deaf Son, a Niece on the Spectrum and I have worked with Special needs kids in a few School districts and people of all ages on the spectrum from non verbal to high functioning. I love people and have a special place in my heart for those that are in need of extra assistance. I teach sign language and use total communication when needed. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant and have worked in health related fields for over 30 years. I have a great way of making learning fun and love direct interaction. I love to be with individuals of all ages. I hope I can help you out in your time of need . Have a great day! Susanne
