I have been working as a manager with special need residents in a Assist Living environment for the last past seven years. I have assist diverse groups of residents with ADD/ADHD, autism, Asperger's Syndrome, learning disabilities, speech impairments, and non-compliant behavior. My years of experience have taught me the value of patience and encouragement with the residents. I work closely with each resident, providing the individualized support and praise they require. I also make sure to stay connected with family members and any specialists involved, to encourage the success of each resident, both in and outside of the facility. I've truly appreciated and learned from every resident and every family I have worked with; I cannot imagine having any other job. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you to discuss how my extensive experience and skills would contribute to your family. Sincerely, Tira
