Autism, Speech delay and Special Needs childcare

Beaverton OR

Description

Hello, I am a former K-12 teacher. I am now a stay at home Mom to my teenage daughter who is severely diagnosed with Autism. I am homeschooling her. I have an opening for one special needs child or developmentally delayed child in my Beaverton townhome wihich is set up for some OT with a hammock and porch swing chair. I can assist with homeschooling or supplementing education. I use partial verbal prompting or a system of visual aids depending on the child's needs. I use positive reinforcement or Applied Behavior Analysis to help promote positive behaviors and outcomes. Our home could be a nut free/gluten free environment if necessary. We have 4 cats so if animal allergies are an issue this would not be a good fit. There are a variety of activities that we like to do. If your child could benefit from increased joint attention and engagement then this would be a good opportunity. I have extensive experience working with children with Autism and other special needs. I have excellent, local references. I am available for in my home childcare (close to Nike) from 2:00 pm until 6pm or 7pm if necessary. Let me know if I can be of assistance.
