My name is Tatiana and I am 40 years old. I have over 20 years experience working in the special education field. I have worked with infants, school aged children, teens and adults. All these with different cognitive and physical disabilities ranging from: autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, behaviors, physical and visual disabilities and also medical and seizures. My first experience started in 2002 at Stein Education Center. I worked with teens in both a classroom and community setting. The ranges of disabilities differed with each client. Most of them with challenging behaviors. The training and support provided by teachers and staff helped me to better understand and meet the needs of our students/clients. I also began to work in their after school program. After, I went to work for the Elementary School District and at Harmonium Inc, which is an after school program. I started as a substitute Instructional Assistant/Special Ed.
