Cohutta,GA

Summary

I have been a paraprofessional for 3 years and I have worked in many settings such as: adaptive curriculum, inclusion, and resource classrooms. I have mindset training and I have assisted with toileting, tube feedings, and catheterization. I believe working with kids is a blessing and I prefer using a neuroaffirming approach. It helps build trust and they realize that I am on their side. It helps get to the root of the problem and help them so they can function well in the school environment.
