I enjoyed getting the experience of working within a special needs unit and being able to work 1 on 1 with the same kids throughout my time so I could build a relationship with them and see their improvements through the activities were were doing.
What I wish was different
I wish I would have gotten paid because I was essentially doing the exact same level of work as the other employees.
Advice
Be prepared for anything. Some days are good days and other days are rough. You have to be very flexible with what you are doing and have to really have thick skin.
