We work one-on-one with autistic children, helping them build communication, social, and daily living skills through play-based, relationship-focused interactions.

You'll work one-on-one with children in their homes and/or center based to:
Build communication, social, and daily living skills through play, conversation, and shared activities
Create meaningful connections that help children think, create, and engage with the world
Follow a relationship-based intervention model designed to achieve strong outcomes with fewer session hours
Track progress by documenting session notes and goal outcomes
Collaborate closely with clinicians and supervisors to build clinical skills and confidence
Learn how evidence-based developmental care works in real life, not just in textbooks
Direct Pay: $26–$30/hour (based on experience and education)
Training / Admin Pay: $20/hour
Part-time schedules:
3, 4, or 5 days per week M-F (most available hours are 3pm-8pm)

Valid driver’s license + reliable transportation (30–40 min drive radius).
Ability to complete physical tasks, including:
Playing on the floor/ground for up to two-three hours per session
Lifting/carrying up to 40 lbs
Sitting, kneeling, crouching, or moving quickly to ensure child safety
Strong communication skills and professionalism with families and teammates
