I love working with kids of all abilities. Over the summer I worked for the IU13 ESY program in an autistic support classroom. I also have worked with students on varying ends of the spectrum and other diagnoses through my internship with a school district. I am passionate about helping kids.
I have six nieces and nephews with varying forms of special needs. I really enjoy working with children with special needs, they are a joy to be around and working with them is challenging, but rewarding.
