• planning lessons and outings in the community to enrich learning;
• communicating with classroom teachers, special education teachers, OTs/SLPs/PTs, counselors, and parents as necessary; and
• driving students in company and or personal vehicle to community outings.

A diploma or certificate in a human services-related field, or experience working with Autistic children and youth is required for this position. Direct program-delivery experience with a working knowledge of ASD, ADHD, and anxiety-disorder-support is preferred. Experience with online learning an asset. Training provided to the right candidates.
