Gain Great Experience - NEED 3 people to fill the various roles (Day, eve or a weekend) key is positive redirection, re-enforcement, thinking on your feed, having fun and engaged in activities! Autism Experience is NOT required! Times open - eve are like 5 or 6pm to 9:30/10 - and we are flexible times etc. For days its 7-4, weekends I try 2 shifts 8-4 and 4-10.
(Part time or Sub available)
What: Being a buddy to a 27-year-old autistic male (autism, cognitive delays, apraxia, OCD, ADD), who has communication difficulties due to his autism and apraxia. Cares for him are really based on positive reinforcement, communication. Helping with sensory needs (going places to jump, run, get tickled, water activities, etc), teaching what is around him. We do train, 2 staff with him too as he is active, and we work on communication/teaching around him day to day!

Autism experience is not required. It's the 2-4 experience is the key!!
