Our family is eagerly looking for therapists (tutors), both senior and junior, to join our home based ABA program that we have running for our very charming and playful, high functioning 4 year old son.

Previous experience working with children with Autism would be fantastic, but is not essential. Individuals interested in psychology, education, speech pathology or any other career involving children are welcome.

We are guided on this journey by our Consultant, the very capable and passionate, Kathryn Theroux from the Able Clinic.

This is a great opportunity to receive training and hands on experience in ABA therapy with minimal initial qualifications. What you should have is lots of energy and patience, strong play skills, a positive attitude and good multi-tasking abilities. Enthusiam, dedication, reliability, an open mind and a willingness to learn are most desirable.

As a therapist you need to be able to commit to: two or three, 3 hour shifts each week, in addition to attending bi-weekly team meetings.

Salary is negotiable and is based on experience; only apply if you are a natural at relating to children. We will ask that you make a one-year commitment to the team and as a matter of course, we will require a criminal record check.

We are located 5 minutes from the Second Narrows bridge, on a bus route, in the Windsor Park area of North Vancouver.

Please e-mail resumes or any inquiries to onedea@shaw.ca.
Telephone inquiries are also welcome at 604-765-0342.

[Timothy Elias]

Nineteen year-old Male is looking for a position as a line therapist.

My name is Tim Elias, and I have recently completed the line therapy workshop at Harmony House and would now like to put the skills I learned to use. I do not have any experience in this field though, but am ready and willing to learn. The little experience I do have though is through a family who I am very close with has a son who has been doing ABA therapy since he was two. Getting to know him and spending time with him has shown me how effective ABA can be, it’s truly amazing and something I would love to be a part of. I am friendly, athletic and outgoing. I have full availability through til next fall when I will be going to University but would love to continue even through next fall with modified hours of course. I currently live in Abbotsford with my own transportation, and am hoping to move to Vancouver December 1st I am willing to commute though so anywhere in the lower mainland should work, preferably in Vancouver though.

This is my first time posting something like this so if I missed anything feel free to email me at TJElias@gmail.com
I look forward to hearing from you.
