Experiences Caretaker For Autistic Children

I worked as a one on one for autistic children in school settings. I still work After School Program being a one on one with an autsitic child in Bayside. I believe being good at this position all comes down to being a great listener to their concerns and/ or needs. Knowing what they are into, what makes them laugh, having fun.
