We are looking for an ABA line therapist to join our Lovaas team. Our four year old son is mildly autistic and has been doing his program for 11 months. He is making tremendous progress! Our behavioral consultant is from the Lovaas Institute in Los Angeles (LIFE).

Experience is not necessary but is helpful. We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic, playful and dependable. Looking to fill a Saturday AND Sunday shift – either mornings or afternoons. Must be able to work both days and also attend weekly Monday evening meetings. We have our consults once a month on Fridays.

We are located in WEST VANCOUVER. We are looking for someone who is able to give us a year's commitment. Pay based upon experience.

If you are interested in joining a really fun team with a great little boy, please contact Debra at (604) 913-0881. Email resumes to djappy@yahoo.com. Please include a reference to this posting in your "subject" line.
