My name is Michele Bayno and I am a Registered Social Worker in the Province of Ontario. I completed my Special BSW with Honors at McGill University in the year 2000. I have over twenty years working and volunteer experience in both the public and private sector. Much of my professional experience comes from working in hospitals, government community services, and a crisis center. On a more personnal level, I am also a mother with children that have ADHD and autism. As many of us know, life can take us on paths that we were never were prepared for. My own life has been touched with autism and special needs parenting. No amount of textbooks prepared me for this journey that I have embarked in. It has taught me to be humble, proud, and accept what is. It has also taught me that no matter where we are in life, we can still create a life that matters. Compassion to your unique situation is always a priority. Sincerely, Michele Bayno, Registered Social Worker (Ontario) more... See more text
