Therapists needed
Still looking for therapists to work with my 71/2 years old son (training will be provided). He's verbal and is a very easy going child. Sessions are Mon, Tue, Wed after 4pm. If you can take two sessions/week, that will be great. If you are too busy, once a week would be okay,too. We focus on community outings and a little bit of home programs. Male and female therapists are welcome. Pay negotiable. Please email me if you are interested tnkaccount@yahoo.com
We live in Vancouver near skytrain stations.

Hey There!!! Yooo-Hooo!!!! Hi. We're Still Loookin for…

A dedicated, encouraging, enthusiastic, responsible, and creative person to join our well established, home based- Lovaas-style Applied Behavior Analysis program (an intensive behavioral program where the children are systematically taught what other children learn intuitively from their family and peers.)

We live in central Vancouver near Main and Broadway.

Our charming five year old daughter is low on the spectrum, has been receiving ABA therapy for three years, and is *very* verbal, affectionate, and fun. Her programs are fascinating, and her progress is swift.

Our consultant is Kimberly Kirsch and we work with the well established and respected Early Autism Project.

As our daughter enters Kindergarten, beyond running programs in the apartment, you will be helping her learn to socialize with other children through facilitated play dates, take community outings, play games, make art, and go to the playground. There is a lot of laughter involved in her sessions!

**If you have experience with running facilitated play dates, please contact us, we are losing a member of the team who is very skilled in this department and need an equally excellent replacement.**

Previous experience with autistic children would be an asset.
But, we will also be interested in individuals with a psychology or special education background. Initial training will be provided by our senior therapist along with follow up sessions.

These positions will appeal to people with an interest in psychology, education, special education, speech/language pathology or any other career involving children and clinical therapy.

This is not only a very good opportunity to gain training and job experience with minimal qualifications but also is a fabulously rewarding to see a young child's world expand.

All applicants should have strong play skills, have a positive attitude, be good multi-taskers, be able to take constructive feedback and implement it immediately, and should have lots of energy and patience.

Enthusiasm, dedication, reliability and a willingness to learn are required. Energy and a positive attitude is a must. Our team rocks! And, we appreciate what YOU do. You will, make a huge difference.

As a therapist, you need to be able to commit to: two-or-three, 3-hour-shifts a week, plus attend biweekly team progress meetings on Thursdays from 4:30-6:00. We currently have space open on: Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. But we are not completely constricted to those hours.

You also must be able to commit to the team for at least one year. We have found that leaving earlier than that can be disruptive and wastes enormous amounts of time and money.

Salary is negotiable and is based on experience.
Only apply if you are a natural at relating to children.
And as par, a current criminal record check will be required.

Please e-mail resumes to scissorhappy@shaw.ca and call us at: (604)709-6003.

Looking Forward To Hearing From You and Thanks Very Much-

{Cathy}
