Autism Spectrum Mentor

Autism Spectrum Mentor Hello I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Shirley Karinna Sitarz, and I work as an ABA Behavior Therapist, specializing in the Autism Spectrum. meetings.

I was raised in an environment where my mother cared for many children with various disabilities, from Cerebral Palsy to ADHD, and Autism. Growing up in this environment provided the opportunity for myself to become familiar with and sensitive to the needs and differences of special children. For several years, I volunteered as a Den Leader for the Cub Scouts, where I taught survival preparedness, first aid, community service, among other personal skills and values. I have served as Secretary to T.E.A.C.H., a program that inspired teens interested in the arts, and provides the tools essential for their success. This organization conducted fundraisers and art auctions to fund group excursions for teens to experience the arts worldwide. Additionally, I have assisted families by providing resources to support groups specific to their needs, and attending doctors visits and I.E.P. In addition, I have provided resources to medical clinics, assisted in the Marine Corp. Toys for Tots Program, and have succeed in acquiring food items from local food banks, and distributed door to door into the communities. Needless to say, I am passionate about helping others, and helping children to recognize their full potential, to discover their strengths, and to lead happy and fulfilling lives.
