"I have worked with children aged 10-15 who have mental and physical disabilities. The disabilities range from autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, anxiety disorders, and more. Working with children has unique challenges that sometimes require us to be more agile, patient, flexible, and creative than when working with adult patients. I have found that it's important to build trusting relationships with patients as well as their families and caregivers, as having a strong foundation like this helps when carrying out the education piece and treatment plan. Each child is unique and often requires a unique and individualized approach to the communication, teaching, and engagement of the patient throughout the treatment plan."
