Hello, I am a Special Education Teacher with over 16 years experience in teaching children, birth through 8 years old. I have worked with children diagnosed with Down Syndrome, Autism, PDD, and developmental disabilities. I also have extensive life experience involving a 36 year old sibling with special needs.I'm an extremely patient, motivated and hard working person. Although I have the most experience working with young children, I am also willing to work with older children and adults.
