Summary

Hello,

My name is Gary T Riggs. I would love to explain some of my background. At a young age I was introduced to volunteering in classrooms at Worthmore academy through my aunt. She held a job there and me and my siblings would help out when we were teenagers. In high-school I used much of my free time help with sped students. These experiences stayed with me even as I worked through retail jobs and attending IUPUI.

Eventually I achieved a Bachelors Degree. I of course minored in Psychology for interest and fun. When I looked for jobs away from retail, I started looking for ways to help those with mental health conditions in psychology. While looking through these positions I found a company that helped Children with autism. I applied and loved working with the kids. That job was Autism Learning Partners. (A.L.P)

Through my experience at A.L.P I decided this was a field I would love staying in and helping children as much as possible. After that job I have gone through a few other companies looking for a best fit location that supports clients in the best way possible.
