The student has significant receptive and expressive language challenges which make his expressive language (speech) difficult for peers and adults to understand. (His speech becomes understandable and decodable by an attentive listener within 2 weeks.) These language challenges, as well as his global apraxia, and learning differences, make it difficult for him to learn and thrive within a typical school classroom. Within this home-based school program, the student accesses learning, therapeutic, and social scenarios throughout the community and at home. The 1:1 is meant to be his communication partner and educational facilitator - taking him to and joining him in his programming to support him with social engagement and conversation with peers, adults, and the community as well as being part of his teaching team for other academic curriculum when he is not with tutors or in educational programs. This involves supporting him in getting his voice heard, his feelings expressed and managed, his interests conveyed, and his learning and therapeutic programming accessed. The student sometimes gets frustrated within his learning process, and part of this job includes supporting his emotional regulation. The student is part of a loving, fun, and flexible family who welcomes and actively supports the 1:1 as a joyful and creative partner to the student and the parents (as program facilitators). The 1:1 will be supported and trained by the child’s parents, highly skilled therapists, and tutors. The student is very interested in playing sports, listening to music, learning about animals, seeing and engaging with people, and playing games. He is an extremely empathetic and socially aware teenager who is sometimes shy because he knows many people don’t understand his words and the way he “does life” differently than others. Once he is comfortable with a person, he opens up and is playful, kind, and curious. He also has his times of frustration and benefits from appropriate reminders and boundaries around choice-making and behavior. Benefits: $30-$35/hour 32-35 hour week 5-6 weeks of paid vacation each year Flexible, fun, and kind work environment Opportunity to learn from and with a fantastic child with complex learning and speech challenges Opportunity to observe and learn from a variety of teaching and therapeutic experts Submit a non-AI generated/created resume and cover letter if you are a qualified and interested candidate to rachaelaudreybaker at gmail dot com
