Average Behavior Assistant Day

• Behavior Assistants drive to client’s homes, preschools, or after school programs and work 1:1 with clients for sessions, which are usually 2 hours in length.
• During the session, the Behavior Assistant works on a number of individualized goals with the child, embedding them naturally and creatively in different play activities, and takes data on how the child is progressing towards their goals.
• Our clients have so much fun during these sessions; they often are waiting at the front door for their Behavior Assistant to arrive and play with them!
• Often our team tell us they “get paid to play and teach new skills!”
