My 20 year old daughter is interested in becoming a TA. She has done voluntary

work for our local pct run special needs nursery and has worked as a SIPS

(supporting inclusion in pre schools) support worker to 3 little ones (2 on the

spectrum). She has been a nanny to triplets...

She is AMAZING (not that i'm biased at all.....!)

She knows pecs/makaton. Has worked on all the home programmes that we've run

over the years (aba/vb and rdi) is well versed too in II and SonRise.

She is the most personable girl. She has a shiny quality about her that just

draws people out. When she comes to visit Nic just downs whatever he is doing

and is all over her. When she leaves he stands at the window crying.

Can she get a job? Not so far folks! She doesn't have enough experience for the

schools (I wonder if maybe 'they' can sense the maverick gene in her?) I don't

understand it. Truly I don't.
