Learning Specialist

SAJE Education Services provides support for children, teens and adults who learn differently. Whether the struggle is because of ADHD, ASD or Executive Functioning deficits, SAJE is designed to show our participants that the way they learn is unique to them and can be enhanced in very positive ways. SAJE Learning Specialists use a multi-sensory approach, based upon cognitive neuroscience, behavioral and mindfulness techniques to teach our participants to have confidence in their own capabilities and to appreciate the way in which their unique brain processes information.

We are seeking professionals with a background in special education or with experience working with individuals struggling with ADHD/ADD, ASD, Focus, Executive Functioning and/or learning based differences. Our participants are "out-of-the-box" thinkers who respond well to adults who are "out-of-the-box" teachers. Familiarity of Executive Functioning challenges and strategies for success is necessary for Learning Specialists.

Our SAJE Scholar Series are one-to-one, in person, 2.5-3 hour sessions once a week or bi-weekly. Learning Specialists are paired with a Scholar based on the Scholar’s needs. Scholar sessions are scheduled to accommodate the Scholar’s and the Learning Specialist’s availability. Many Scholars require after-school sessions, while Saturday sessions are popular. Weekday morning and afternoon SAJE Sessions are also offered. Candidates for this position must be available for 3 hours blocks of time.

Adult Scholars commit to 5 SAJE Sessions.

Student Scholars commit to 8 SAJE Sessions.

Our SAJE Learning Specialists work with SAJE Scholars individually, focusing on skills and strategies that build confidence and competence in social, emotional and academic areas. Organization, time management, skills acquisition, self-advocacy, emotion and behavior regulation, communication, mindfulness are all areas that are explored, modeled, and taught to our SAJE participants. We are looking for educators who can incorporate creative and expressive activities to help our Scholars thrive while learning.
