Taking care of a special needs child is a very gratifying experience, but you need to have a special thing called patience! Above all and a warm heart, you need to have the knowledge to also understand that you will be learning from this child as well

One of my favorite jobs was in an adult daycare facility for special needs. I loved to show them real-life skills and interact with them as my true friends. I would like to get back to that as the center I worked for closed because of covid.
