Therapist/Tutor for Child with Autism
We are looking for an energetic, smart, caring person to join our team working with our autistic daughter, 8 years old. Experience with special needs NOT required. A willingness to learn IS. You will receive training from one of the best Behavioural Consultants in the field.
Our daughter is high functioning, intelligent, loving and very funny. (A bit of a challenge sometimes too.) You will adore her.
We need you to help her negotiate peer relationships and social/recreational activities as well as helping with school projects/homework. Data collection and some administrative duties are involved.
As tutor/therapist, you would have to be available to pick her up from school at 2:45, escort her to the Boys and Girls Club – a ten minute walk or short drive – by 3:00/3:15, "play" with her at the Club until 5:30 and then escort her the one block to our home.
By "play" we mean less emphasis on discreet trial and more focus on natural teaching using the theories of behavioural analysis. The training will also consist of in-situation practice/training/observation of drills where the new tutor will observe our Behavioural Consultant and then practice while she
gives feedback. (If you are not familiar with this terminology, that's OK; excellent training is provided.)
You must be able to provide your own transportation (Transit OK) and be willing to submit to an RCMP criminal record check. Female applicants preferred only because you may have to help her with hygiene and visiting girl's room.
For more information, contact us by email and we will arrange an interview.
