{Hello FEAT Readers}

The time has come yet again! We need a new 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 therapy for twelve years. (Wooooo!)

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, who is amazing. (You are in luck.)

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 a year.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: picking our daughter up from school, 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 two sessions a week that, run approximately, from 3:30ish to 6:00ish, and would need to attend a team meeting, held once a month, from 5:00 to 6:30. Right now we're on a summer schedule, which is a bit more flexible, and morning sessions are an option.

If you are interested, please send your resume and a brief letter of introduction to: cathy.fitzhugh@gmail.com

We really do look forward to hearing from you.

{Thanks}
