Special Needs Au Pair Childcare Autism

Many Apex PROaupair host families have children with developmental delays. These can vary from impairments of speech or language to problems with movement and motor skills to genetic delays such as Down syndrome. Apex PROaupair’s caregivers are attuned to a child’s individual needs and use their extensive training to ensure each child can reach his or her full potential. They provide high-quality, skilled care depending upon the child’s diagnosis – implementing therapy homework, creating routines, and generally providing a warm, supportive environment.

Katie Gaughen, a mom and Social Worker from Hingham, Massachusetts, has three kids under the age of three. Their son Ben has been diagnosed with autism. When juggling three toddlers and Ben's special needs became too much, they hired German Occupational Therapist Bianca. See how Bianca's skills as an Occupational Therapist are benefitting the entire family.
