Position Summary The purpose of this position is to assist individuals, who have an autism spectrum diagnosis, to meet employment needs. This position further involves coordination of responsibilities involving planning program services/activities, monitoring, evaluating and modifying program activities; and developing resources. As part of the TEACCH and Employment Services philosophy, all staff members including administrative staff members will work directly with adults with autism as part of their job. This position is not center based, and all services are provided in the community. We are required to travel great distances, sometimes at a moment's notice. Individuals in this position are required to work alone in the community providing supports to autistic adults. In addition to working with autistic adults, we work closely with the other support systems of the individual. This includes, but is not limited to, additional family members, employers, other provider agencies, medical staff, residential providers, and local mental health agencies and other providers of funding for the services provided by TEACCH Employment Services.

In any given year, there are 80-120 students receiving services and in various stages of this process. With 4 people in this role, a typical position would have a case load of of 20-30 students. Access to each student varies and makes strong organization and documentation a must. Self-organization to complete all these activities must consider the school's required classroom education for each student and requires a lot of coordination between teachers, transition facilitators, administration, transportation, families/caregivers, and community-based employers. They write up the numerous services they provide and give feedback to multidisciplinary teams and family members of students to help guide the student's educational services. Their case load changes from month to month as students go in and out of various service components and have changes in schedule. They coordinate their schedules with those of the school to maximize contact hours. They perform all their duties with minimal to no supervision. They must write up paperwork to ensure the deliverables are billable to the school system and meet requirements of documentation for Vocational Rehabilitation Pre-Employment Transition Services.
