A 19-year-old non-verbal female with Rett's syndrome and autism is in need of non-modified transportation from her home in Rittman to the I Am Boundless day program in Medina.

She has a seizure disorder and a g-tube for all nutrition and the provider would need to have a good understanding of protocols in case of an emergency, including administering Nayzilam in case of a seizure.  This young lady enjoys music and likes riding in a vehicle, and although she can walk to and from the vehicle with minimal assistance, she would need some physical assistance getting in and out and getting buckled and unbuckled.
