ABA Behavior Interventionist Needed (Maple Ridge)

We are looking to hire a behavioral interventionist to work on our ABA home team. Our son is 12 years old and has had intensive behavioral therapy for the past 9 years. He is a happy and highly energetic boy who loves attention.
We are looking for a bright, hard working, and energetic individual. Applicants must work well on a team, be willing to take feedback and direction from our Board Certified Behavior Analyst (Nate Searle MS BCBA), have a current criminal record check and attend biweekly team meetings on Thursdays from 6:00-8:00pm. Experience is an asset, but not a requirement. Salary will initially depend on prior experience and ranges from $14-18/hour. Shifts are 2-3 hours long and include data taking and graphing. This is a great opportunity for students, who are interested in the field of psychology, education or speech/language pathology. Our interventionists commit to 2 sessions per week and maintain professional standards.

If you’re interested, please send your resume to: assunta@shaw.ca

{Hello FEAT Readers}

The time has come yet again! We need a new ABA therapist for our team in Vancouver (near Cambie and 20th.)

Our fourteen-year-old daughter is high functioning, verbal, affectionate and entertaining. Her therapy is fascinating, and her progress is consistent.  She has been doing ABA for twelve years. We work under the guidance of Kim Kirsch and the Early Autism Project, hence, it is a home-based ABA program, supervised by a well-respected BCBA. Training will be provided by Kim and our current lead.

 

You need to be fun, responsible, dedicated, and creative. You should have strong play skills, a positive attitude, and lots of energy and patience. You are a good multi-tasker, are organized, encouraging, enthusiastic, and responsible. Previous experience with ABA programs is a plus, but as long as you seem bright, caring, and capable, we are interested. A criminal record check will be obligatory as is an ability to commit to the team for at least one year.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: recording data, facilitating playdates, helping with home living skills, supporting basic academic and social skills, and assisting with fine and gross motor challenges.

You would have three sessions a week. Weekday options are would be on: Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays but… eliminating one of the three weekday shifts for one on Sunday may also be an option. (The time for a session on the weekend would be flexible.) During the week sessions run approximately, from 3:15ish to 6:00ish. You would also need to attend a team meeting, held once a month, from 5:00 to 6:30.

HEIP PLEASE!.
My son is almost 18 year old. He was very agressive from age 4 to 9. We spent a lot of therapy hour , diet, oxygenated and a lot of outing community. His behaviour was improving huge . He seldom to have agressive toward the other or himself. He become more calm, cooperated and happy child even though he still have rough day some time but it is nothing compare when he is younger. But all of sudden for almost 1 week lately , he become very aggression toward me. It occurs 1 or 2x per day , some time when I tell him to eat just stand beside or all of sudden he just become very angry for no reason. I took him to hospital for check up to make sure his physical is ok .The doctor think it is just his autism behaviour , because he is reaching the purity state The doctor did the blood , urine and ear exam but everything is ok ( 3 years ago in the pass , for a couple day , he was very aggression toward any one near by , after going to bathroom. We didn't know why tilll we found out that he had bladder infection Cruz his urine smell so strong, then he got treat for that problem and the behaviour is gone ). But this time I didn't know what cause,, his sleeping and eating is ok as usual. he look tense and angry easy . I am too afraid of being around him. I am so depress of worrying that , his behaviour will become permanent from now on , then I don't know how to deal with it and I really don't want to put him on any medication unless there is really no choice. ( We don't have any consultant for a long time because it is difficulted to find the good one after trying some , but it didn't work out and my son continue doing well , so we just focus on his life skill, community outing and fun activity ). But now, I don't know what to do , do any of you have same experienced?, or any suggestion?, please share with me and also, I am looking for the doctor , who have more experience about ASD as well , your time is great appreciated .
