I have developed strong skills in working with individuals with special needs through personal experience with my younger brother, who has autism. Supporting him throughout his life has taught me how to adapt to his unique needs, communicate effectively, and provide compassionate care. Additionally, I spent several years volunteering as a coach for his baseball team, working closely with children like him and gaining a deep appreciation and love for their unique perspectives and strengths. This experience has deepened my understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with special needs and has equipped me with the patience, empathy, and problem-solving abilities necessary to make a positive impact in their lives.
