About the job
Our Mission:
Make a meaningful impact. Build essential skills. Grow alongside us.
At Positive Development, we are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to grow, learn, and flourish. We also believe that every aspiring professional deserves fulfilling work that cultivates valuable skills for their future.
Our focus is on providing individualized support to children with autism, facilitating their development in communication, social, and daily living skills through engaging, relationship-driven interactions.
Why This Role Stands Out:
This is not a passive role where you simply observe. You will actively coach, engage, and support children in their growth, while gaining relevant experience for careers in:
- Psychology
- Social Work
- Occupational Therapy
- Speech Language Pathology
- Education and Special Education
- Counseling
- Medicine and Health
This role is incredibly rewarding, yet it demands patience, emotional strength, and dedication. You will receive comprehensive support from seasoned clinicians and supervisors who are committed to 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
- Empathetic, patient, and enthusiastic
- Reliable and dedicated to maintaining a consistent schedule (children thrive on routine!)
- Comfortable working directly with families in a home-based environment
Ideal candidates may include students majoring in Education, Psychology, Pre-Medicine, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Speech Language Pathology, as well as behavior technicians, camp counselors, teaching assistants, childcare providers, direct support professionals, and caregivers.
