Respite Provider since: 2010 Field of study: – Child and Youth Worker graduate How did you get interested in working with kids? I became interested in working with children when I was 18 years old, when I became a volunteer wrestling coach. Through working with the children on the wrestling team and talking with friends and family I decided to go to college and take the child and youth worker program.

“Loneliness is the most terrible poverty.” – Mother Teresa There are few things more heartbreaking than a child with no friends. But being friendless is the norm for Canadian children with physical and developmental disabilities. A new study, written by Anne Snowdon, a nurse and professor at the Odette School of Business at the University of Windsor in Ontario, shows that 53 per cent of disabled kids have no friends.
