This role focuses on providing behavioral support in a school setting, specifically leveraging implementation of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), with students ranging in grade levels from pre-K to high school. It is highly beneficial if you have previous experience supporting students with special needs and have worked in a 1:1 or 1:multiple capacity. Our providers are assigned to cases as either a 1:1 support, or as a general classroom aide. As a 1:1 support: you would be going to each class with your student to provide behavioral and educational support throughout the day. 1:1 supporters are responsible to ensure their student is on task and working towards their behavioral goals.

The availability of full-time placements is determined by the specific needs and schedules of our partner districts rather than a fixed timeline.
