We are looking for an experienced ABA therapist to join our team! We are looking for someone who is fun, engaging and energetic to join our 6 year old son’s in-home ABA program. He is a fun, social guy who is verbal, loves people and learns fast! Our program has been in place for over 4 years and we have seen tremendous success! Our program is under the supervision of our Behavioral Consultant, Michele Shilvock and Harmony House. If you love and have a genuine interest in working with kids, have great play skills, are responsible and dependable and can commit to 5-10 hours per week, then please join our team.

You will work one-on-one with our son with a focus on Grade 1 prep, peer play facilitation and advanced social skills including material from Michelle Garcia Winner. Therapy will take place both in house and in the local community.

All training will be provided on site with ongoing monthly supervision. This is a great opportunity for applicants who welcome frequent overlaps and opportunities to further develop their skills. You must be at least 19 years of age and have a criminal record check completed prior to starting.
