My Story
While I was getting my MSW, my nephew was diagnosed with Autism. I utilized the skills I had learned in undergrad and was currently learning to help my family navigate through his diagnosis. My population of interest as a social worker quickly shifted and I became immersed in getting him involved in therapies, researching how social work can relate to other forms of therapy, and how impactful it can be to provide social/emotional learning skills to young children on the spectrum. My personal story and professional interest helped me to decide on the population I wanted to dedicate myself to as a licensed social worker, which brought me to Blue Bird Day!
My Blue Bird Day
I am very excited to join Blue Bird Day as I commit to my long time interest in working with children on the Autism spectrum, along with other developmental disabilities. I am looking forward to jump right into a safe, inclusive, and diverse environment.
My Blue Bird Day Goals
- I would love to learn more about cognitive behavioral therapy approaches and DIR/Floortime.
- Overall, never stop growing professionally and learning!
