In this role, you will support students' progress through implementing IEP goals and therapeutic interventions. You will help students develop skills for greater independence in education, career, and personal development.

  • Engagement and Relationship Building: Actively engage with students during daily lessons and activities, making learning enjoyable and strengthening relationships.
  • Individualized Support: Provide one-on-one assistance in and out of the classroom, ensuring familiarity with each student's IEP goals and working toward their progress.
  • Team Collaboration: Collaborate with the classroom team on treatment planning and interdisciplinary collaboration, providing insights on student progress and interventions.
  • Documentation: Complete necessary documentation, including daily student progress summaries, incident reports, and communication with families.
  • Leadership: Lead group activities, electives, and off-campus trips to help students develop community-based skills.
  • Residential Support: Support students in morning routines, including wakeups and breakfast, especially for those in residential programs.
  • Crisis Intervention: Participate in crisis intervention as necessary, ensuring student safety and well-being.
  • Positive Relationships with Families: Develop and maintain strong, positive relationships with students' families, communicating effectively about progress and needs.

This position requires a high level of professionalism, effective time management, and excellent communication skills.
