I have extensive experience with children with special needs. Primarily children with autism. My sister has severe autism and I have been volunteering with her and her class for about five years now. I have also worked as an ABA therapist for autistic children specifically for the entire year of 2017 with ACES ABA. I have an immense wealth of knowledge about children with special needs as I have been around it for almost my entire life. I have experience with children from age 5 to age 18 because of my former job. I am a very calm and relaxed person by nature which makes taking care of children very easy because we all know that they feed off of the caretakers energy. I am incredibly passionate about what I do and I look forward to hearing about your child!
