The letter I just sent to the Special Ed department at Western Oregon in Monmouth:
Hi there!
My name is Molly. I’m writing to you all in hopes that you might
be able to give my husband & I some direction and help. We are in need of
someone to work with our autistic 4 year old son at home. Students in the field
of Special Ed came to mind as people that might fit this role, as well as
benefit from it too. This unique duty would be Monday through Friday, morning
to early evening. However, we are happy to split these hours among more than
one person. I’d also like to add that this is a paid position.
Judah, our son, is currently tip-toeing on the verge of
talking. Other huge aspects of his development are evolving at this time as
well. His current progress is nothing short of amazing to witness. For
someone with a passion in this field, working with Judah would be a mountain of
autism experience handed to them. Learning about autism is an eye-opening adventure.
Getting to know a child who is growing up surrounded & captured in the
mystery that is autism is pretty much indescribable.
We are currently braving new routes to help him progress. This is
another benefit to someone working with Judah - they would see different
treatments & ideas put to life right in front of them. They would
experience these various approaches first-hand.
We would love to offer your students this very special experience to
share in Judah’s life & to participate in his world. We would hope that
this adventure would ultimately push more knowledge & awareness of autism
out into the world, while offering Judah even more chances to grow & gain
the help that he needs.
Thank you so much! We look forward to hearing from you!
