Candidate must be able to translate standard curriculum for young children to work on age appropriate projects (not just worksheets) with a child who:
-loves all things that go and who is friendly and curious yet is often confused about concepts (processing issue)
-is interested in the technical side of things in everyday life and needs assistance integrating disparate information to understand the reasoning behind the work.

Further information:
The child appreciates work in everyday settings yet can can become easily distracted. The child needs a patient individual to explain the reasoning behind the problems.
