Technology in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I completed my internship at
Indiana during the summer of 2003 and passed my certification exam
in Therapeutic Recreation in June 2004. I was hired as a part-time
therapist for Meaningful Day Services, Inc., (MDS) in January 2005,
providing Recreational Therapy for individuals receiving funding
through the Support Services, Autism, and Developmental
Disabilities Waiver.
Catchments:

Wayne, 2003
Areas of Expertise:
Working with children and adults with Autism Spectrum, Cerebral
Palsy, and Mental Retardation
Personal Interests:
I am a North American Riding for the Handicapped Association
(NARHA) certified instructor providing therapeutic horseback riding
services, and a Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA) certified
riding instructor teaching English and Western horseback riding to
beginner through intermediate riders. When I’m not working I’m
busy around Dusty Dreams, LLC, our 27 ½ acre horse facility, which
is also home. I have four ‘kids’ ranging in ages from eighteen
through twenty-six, whom I enjoy visiting and spending time with
when I can.
