Thank you.
We are looking for a caring person to accompany our son to school as his private EA and also as a therapist for some home-based therapy (ABA therapy). Our son has an autism diagnosis and is currently in grade 1 with our current employee who will be leaving us at the end of the calendar year. Our son has been doing intensive ABA therapy since the age of 3. Due to special considerations, the school division has allowed a private person to accompany him to school. This is a unique position making it hard to clearly describe duties and needed skills; however, the applicant needs to be kind and caring, strong critical thinking skills, be able to learn aspects of ABA therapy and willing to use these strategies in the classroom. We will train the successful applicant in ABA therapy with the goal of the applicant not only accompanying our son to school but also working some hours doing ABA therapy in home as the continuity between programming at home and school has been extremely beneficial and successful for our son.
We will pay a wage higher than what the normal EA pay scale is currently at.
Please email your cover letter and resume to the email address listed in this ad. We look forward to hearing from you!
