Special Needs Care

I worked for a family for 2 years with a child with Down syndrome and another with ADD. I learned a lot of things, not because I studied them only from experience working with them but I am always willing to learn and follow instructions on everything you teach me.

My college goal and beyond is working with special needs children because I think they are such loving and kind hearted people. I have had 3 years working with a girl who has autism and down syndrome to where she does not have verbal skills. These people light up my life!
