The successful candidate will work closely with a school aged child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to implement behavior intervention plans, promote skill development, and create a supportive environment for optimal growth. This child loves to build, play with vehicles, and is very active so strong play skills are required. We are looking for someone who is fun loving and active but is able to maintain very strong boundaries.
