Newtown, United States Potential Inc Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

Special Education Paraprofessionals at Potential Inc. use Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles as a part of daily instruction at our private school in Newtown, Bucks County. As a Paraprofessional, you'll work one-on-one with students (ages 6 - 21) on the Autism spectrum who have not been successful in other programs, who have challenging behavior, or who have an additional medical diagnosis that impacts learning. Each student has a unique plan, or Individualized Education Program (IEP), created to engage them in their education and improve their long-term abilities. Focus areas include communication, behavior, activities of daily living, vocational skills, community-based instruction, social skills, and academics.


WHAT SETS US APART?

NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED This is considered an entry-level position. We provide in-depth paid training that prepares you to work with clients. We welcome new graduates, career changers, and experienced candidates to apply.

We're committed to your growth and success. We offer career development opportunities beyond our initial training period: discounts at partner colleges and universities, annual training and ongoing professional development opportunities, and ongoing supervision and mentorship with supportive supervisors.

Full-time and a variety of part-time schedules are available

Work-life balance matters to us. Full-time staff average 32.5 hours per week while being paid a salary and earning benefits. Both staff and students benefit from an extended school year (ESY) schedule with breaks mixed in throughout the year

We offer the benefits of a big business with the feel of a small company. Benefits include AFLAC, pet insurance, tuition discounts at partner schools, an employee assistance program, an employee referral program, and a 403b retirement savings plan.


WHAT SKILLS AND EXPERIENCES WILL YOU GAIN FROM THIS ROLE?

After training, you'll be able to work with children of varying levels of need, implement Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy programs following each client's individualized treatment plan, receive and incorporate feedback from your client's Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) in future sessions, maintain client safety and confidentiality, and accurately document client sessions by collecting data, writing session notes, and completing service logs (timesheets). You'll gain the training and experience required to take the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) exam and earn the RBT credential through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) after an initial 6-month apprenticeship period (if you so choose.)
