Provided care to a family that has two boys with CASK disorder, a rare X-linked mutation that can disrupt physical and mental development.
I spent time with the children while allowing their parents to focus on other tasks.
I took the boys on walks around town in their wheelchairs, brought them to waterparks and lakes during the summer, and helped them move around in the house.
