After moving from Oklahoma to Ocala with her family, Lindsey reached out to Vocational Rehabilitation who referred her to employU. Lindsey was born with cerebral palsy and experienced hearing loss in 2018. With the help of Voc Rehab and employU, Lindsey was able to get better working hearing aids and find full-time employment. Her employU Employment Specialist, Tami, helped Lindsey build a resume and expand her interview skills. Lindsey had worked in childcare previously, and though she loved it, it was not her initial career goal. ? ? After several months, she decided to return to childcare since teaching children is her passion. With Tami’s help, Lindsey began working at Amazing Kids World Academy. With some job coaching from Tami, Lindsey excelled and was promoted to lead teacher. She is thrilled to have her own class and loves working with the children every day. #employingabilities #deafawareness
