I started working in a special needs classroom in high school as I teacher's aide. Shortly after graduating, I started working in a group home for developmentally delayed children and continued there for 5 years! I was also a para educator for the emotionally disturbed. I have experience with medication, g-tube feedings, AFO's/medical equipment, and ABA training. I love working with children, but my passion is working with special needs children!!!
