Hello,
My name is Dave Harding. I am seeking a position as an ABA SW within the Surrey School District for next September. I currently have my 1000hrs and work under the consultation of Sharon Baxter, Dr. Sara White and Rachel Russell. Not only do I have the privilege of working under some of the best consultants with a wide age variety of children, but I also have been working on my own son’s home based ABA program for six years. I am aware of the struggles of day to day living. If chosen I will advocate for the child I am placed with. I will do my best to see that the parents/consultants goals are met. I am comfortable working with aggressive or high behavioural children. If you are looking for a mature, reliable and responsible interventionist to work with your child within the Surrey School District, please consider me.
Thank You,
Dave Harding
