You would be picking our daughter up from her after school bus-drop-off, recording data, helping with home living skills, and working with her on her fine and gross motor challenges.

Our team meetings are currently held once a month on a Wednesday evening from 5:00-6:30 and you’d have three sessions a week: from 3:30ish to 6:00. We also ask that you are able to commit to the team for at least one year.
