I have worked with children who range from high to low on the autism spectrum for multiple years in multiple different settings. I have held positions in public schools with children who needed assistance in mainstream classrooms, co-taught in special day classes with children not in mainstream classes as well as one-on-one in home intensive therapy with children high on the spectrum.
