Love For Special Needs Children!

My son was diagnosed with a rare fatal brain disease last year. I have been taking care of him full time ever since. I have so much love and compassion for special needs kids and their families.
I grew up with two siblings that have Autism and Intellectual Disabilities. I feel very confident in my skills as I have been surrounded in it my whole life. In high school I volunteered to work in the special education students and loved every minute of it.
