Hello everybody;
We are a family who are looking to hire 2-3 interventionists to work with our 2 years autistic child to cover about 30 hours per week. Both of us (parents) are family physicians and we Just moved to Abbotsford.

We work with a superior Senior consultant from the able clinic ( Katie Allen) as the head of our team. She is one of only 3 qualified BCBA consultants in BC. She just moved from New England In USA and has a great experience with autistic children. One of the people who are joining our team is Michelle who is an experienced therpist at the able clinic.The OT who is helping us running the program is Jessica who is a very experienced OT who works with the able clinic.

Our team will be a unique team as we have excellent and experienced consultants. Working with George will be not just fun, but it will provide great future opportunity for any interventionist who is looking forward to progress in the feild of autism.

George our son is a very nice boy. He is very queit boy by nature and is very laid back. He never gets tantrums and he needs an energetic and nice interventionist who will make him more active.

We prefer to hire someone who has some experience with autistic children, but our senior consultant Katie is willing to train anyone who is nice enough for the job.

The salary will depend on experience and personal interview.
Please send the resume to the above e-mail or you can cotact us by phone at 604-853-8576 and ask for Catherine.

Still looking for a new therapist!

We are looking for a resposible, dedicated, and creative person to join our (most excellent,) 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.)

Our four year old daughter is low on the spectrum, and is very verbal, gentle, affectionate, and amazing. Her therapy is fascinating, and her progress is swift. We are currently working under the guidance of the EAP (the Early Autism Project.)

Previous experience with autistic children would be an asset but is not required. 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 a fantastic opportunity to make an impact on a child's life while acquiring great training and job experience.

All applicants must have strong play skills, a positive attitude, lots of energy and patience, be good multi-taskers, and should be encouraging, enthusiastic, and responsible. You also need to be able to take constructive feedback and implement it immediately.
Energy and a positive attitude is a must.

As a therapist, you need to be able to commit to
two or three shifts a week (the shifts are two or three hours long,) plus attend biweekly team meetings on Thursday evenings from 6:30-7:30, periodic workshops, and also be able to commit to the team for one year.

Weekend and evening shifts are also available, so you should easily be able to work around your university schedule.

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

We live in central Vancouver near Main and Broadway.

Please e-mail resumes to scissorhappy@shaw.ca with "Therapist Position" as the subject, and/or call us at: (604)709-6003.

Looking Forward To Hearing From You-
and…honestly, I can promise that this is going to be rewarding and fun.

Thanks,
Cathy

I put this information together for the parents that I work with. I know there are a lot of parents looking for tutors who could also use this information.

Hiring New Tutors For Your ABA Home Program-

Many families hire tutors who are students at local colleges and universities. These people often have flexible schedules and are interested in learning. An important characteristic of an effective tutor!

The following are links to employment centers at Lower Mainland universities and colleges. Some of the employment centers charge a small fee, others are free.

You will need to train more tutors than needed as there is a high level of attrition during new tutor training. If you receive more interest than you need please pass those names on to Families for Early Autism Treatment of B.C. (FEAT BC) – https://www.featbc.org
