• Teaching emotional regulation and coping strategies
• Promoting positive behavior using reinforcement techniques
• Guiding motor skill development through structured play

• Encouraging daily living skills such as self-care and following routines

No ABA experience required—you will receive extensive paid training during a required, in-person two-week program.

• Available Monday through Friday (2:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.) and possibly Saturdays (9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.)

• Experience with children is a plus (e.g., school, daycare, or after-school programs)
• Background in Psychology, Child Development, or related fields is a plus
• Physical ability to kneel, run, lift up to 35 lbs, and move quickly as needed
