Qualifications

Candidates should possess a genuine interest in child development, a willingness to learn and grow, and a commitment to providing high-quality support to children with diverse needs.

About the job

Our Mission:

Make a real impact. Build essential skills. Join us on a journey of growth.

At Positive Development, we are dedicated to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to grow, learn, and flourish. We also believe that every aspiring professional deserves meaningful work that develops real skills for the future.

We provide personalized, one-on-one support to autistic children, focusing on enhancing their communication, social, and daily living skills through engaging, play-based interactions that prioritize relationship-building.

Why This Role Stands Out:

This is not just an “observe and assist” position. You will be actively involved in coaching, engaging, and facilitating growth in children while acquiring invaluable experience relevant to careers in:

  • Psychology
  • Social Work
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Speech Language Pathology
  • Education and Special Education
  • Counseling
  • Medicine and Health

This role is incredibly rewarding but demands patience, emotional intelligence, and a strong commitment. You will receive continuous support from experienced clinicians and supervisors who are invested in your professional development.

We are particularly eager to connect with candidates who are:

  • Enthusiastic about working with children and adolescents
  • Inquisitive about human development and learning processes
  • Patient, empathetic, and passionate
  • Dependable and dedicated to maintaining a consistent schedule (children thrive on consistency!)
  • Comfortable working directly with families in a home-based setting

Ideal candidates include education majors, psychology students, pre-med students, nursing students, aspiring occupational and speech language therapists, behavior technicians, camp counselors, teacher's assistants, childcare providers, direct support professionals, and caregivers.

As a Child Development Specialist, your responsibilities will include:
