[MR] Special Needs

[Denise Keppel]

As a professional who deals with people with disabilities daily, I would be glad to assist in this service.

Neise

Not a victim, not handicapped, only a patient to my doctors but has ADHD/Dyslexia/Dysgraphia/Dyscalculia/Depression and type 2 Diabetics... and Master's degree.  (And not on the autism spectrum either as learning disorders and autism are two different developmental disabilities)
