I Was A Special Needs Teacher For 35 Years.

I also took in 3 foster children for 6 months and I took care of 2 boys for a private family for 5 years.
In all of years teaching, my classroom contained students of varying exceptionalities. With that being said, I have experience working with autistic, bi-polar, and a variety of other special needs. Personally, I don't like to label as we all have our own level of intelligence.
