About Michael

Hello, my name is Michael and I am very passionate about being a caregiver. I am an Occupational Therapy Assistant graduate who is dependable, therapeutic, and nurturing. I am very knowledgeable and experience in caring for patients who have various ailments and disabilities. I currently provide care to special needs clients, specifically clients living with autism, cerebal palsy, ADHD, neurological disorders, and Down syndrome. I have experience in medication management, providing transportation to and from client's appointments, supervising clients in community integration, meal planning, de-escalation clients who have aggressive behaviors, bathing, grooming, mobility, improving function, and having clients engage in leisure activities. I am BLS and CPR certified and I have acquired the knowledge and academic training to support people in need for rehabilitation therapy. I have fieldwork experience at a long-term care facility for senior citizens where I have learned from other occupational therapy assistants, occupational therapists, and physical therapists. I look forward in providing my services to assist your child in coping with their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
