During my time at Devereux, I worked with autistic children during the evening hours. I was a direct support professional. I help the children with learning how to communicate through flashcards and or pointing to what they want because most of the students are nonverbal. The unit I work in is a 6-10 month program to help the children with communication skills, daily living routines, and staying safe. Some of the children I do work with are aggressive so I have been trained on how to handle those situations, when or if they do occur.
