[quote=Anonymous]We have a child with special needs and are now hosting our third au pair from Proaupair. Our child has different needs but I would guess you could match with a great professional. Proaupair works with au pairs from Germany and Austria who have completed a three year degree in OT, PT, SLT, or special needs education. What you may need to do is pair your au pair with the appropriate therapists to give her/him direct training in how to help your child, at least at first, but an au pair from Proaupair will come with education and interest in helping children with special needs. It’s directly relevant to their chosen career path and we have found that au pairs are excited to work with professional therapists in the U.S. as it is an opportunity to learn on the job. It is more expensive than other au pair agencies but there’s no way we would be able to find the right au pair outside of Proaupair given the extent of my daughter’s needs. So we really appreciate it! Let me know if I can answer any other questions. [/quote]
