I have been working in the special needs field for four years now. I have experience with a variety of disabilities including: developmental, emotional, cognitive disabilities, and also mental illnesses. I have I have experience with individuals who are higher functioning, as well as with ones who are more dependent. I always try to make sure that the people I am caring for are enjoying themselves as much as possible. I like to try and get on their level, find out about their quirks and see what it will take to keep them laughing.
