Skills
I have plenty of life experience with special needs, having three young people on the spectrum at home. I am very calm and patient, and have a better understanding of young people with additional needs and a good sense of humour as it is sometimes needed with individuals with literal thinking. I have really good general knowledge and can think of different ways of helping as people learn in different ways. I am a great communicator and a people person.
About
I have worked as a teaching assistant in the past with years 7 to 11, with various degrees of special needs or challenging behaviours. My goal was to eventually become an arts teacher, this has changed since having three children with Autism. I would still like to go back to an education setting as my job.
