Experienced Special Needs Caregiver

I worked as a paraprofessional in an elementary school for two years with special needs children. Prior to working outside the home, I gained experience and developed a heart for children with special needs by raising my son, (I home schooled him for two years) who was diagnosed with ADHD, Asperger's, OCD, and anxiety issues.
I have a lot of experience working with students with exceptionalities, especially in the educational setting. I am a paraprofessional, and I have worked with many students with autism, physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and emotional-behavioral disabilities. I am in school to become a special education teacher.
