Hello FEAT readers,

Time has come again: We need a new lead therapist for our team.

Our nine year old daughter is high functioning, verbal, gentle, affectionate, and very entertaining. Her therapy is fascinating, and her progress is swift. She has been doing ABA for over seven years.

We work under the guidance of Kim Kirsch and the Early Autism Project, hence, it is a home-based ABA program.

Previous experience with ABA programs is a must.
Previous lead experience would be swell.

Initial training will be provided by our lead therapist along with follow up sessions.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: running sessions on your own, preparing for team meetings once a month, overlapping with our consultant, providing reports to the consultant, working on scheduling, and overlapping therapists.

You will also need to provide feedback to the therapists and ourselves, train new therapists, oversee data recorded, probe new targets, and coach the team.

Our team meetings are currently held once a month on a Thursday evening from 5:00-6:30.

You should be FUN, responsible, dedicated, and creative. You need to have strong play skills, a positive attitude, and lots of energy and patience. You are a good multitasker, are organized, encouraging, enthusiastic, and responsible.

You need to understand what makes out daughter "tick" and use it to your best advantage.

You also need to be able to take constructive feedback and implement it immediately. A current criminal record check will be required. Your salary will be negotiable based on your experience and your performance.

We live in central Vancouver near Main and Broadway, and also near Cambie and 22nd Street.

Please e-mail your resume to scissorhappy@shaw.ca with "Lead Therapist Position" as the subject or call me at 604-709-6003.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

{Cathy Fitzhugh}
