Our comprehensive paid behavioral health training will prepare you to directly impact the developmental growth of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and support your assigned child through their unique development opportunities, including managing potentially aggressive reactions.

• Using evidence-based techniques to actively engage with children, which may include standing, walking, sitting, grasping, reaching, bending, kneeling, crouching, squatting, lifting, and occasionally carrying children or objects weighing up to 50 pounds.

• Starting hourly rate between $17-$22, increasing based on experience, certification level, and education.
