I liked it! It was a lot of work but it was very rewarding. The kids are great and it’s a great experience to put on a resume!
What I wish was different
There’s a lot of training and sometimes you have to do it on your own time and if that’s the case you don’t get paid for the time you spend on it.
Advice
If you don’t like working with kids this probably won’t be the job for you.

What I wish was different
I wish my pay and hours could have been better, and that I could have gotten hired sinner so I could have worked for longer.
Advice
This was great experience talking and collaborating with parents/families of children with disabilities, and I would trend it to anyone going into a field where they will work with these people.
