I have experience working with special needs children that have varying degrees of impairment. But I prefer working with people who have mild to moderate conditions.
I have experience with Special Needs kids for 4 years ages from 1-10 and I have worked with adults with special needs ages vary from 20-60 years old. I have volunteered at my church for 8 years and I love connecting with them as they have taught me a lot and I have encountered many issues and have learned how to navigate them.
