• Maintain accurate and up-to-date case notes and documentation in compliance with organizational policies and legal requirements.
• Ability to learn and utilize our therapeutic developmental kits, in order to teach and empower families to develop skills and modify behaviors.
• Participate in multidisciplinary team meetings and contribute to case discussions and treatment planning.
• Commitment to upholding our mission and values, and supporting organizational growth through a collaborative and positive approach to teamwork, innovation, and continuous improvement in service delivery.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment.
• Knowledge of local resources and community organizations.
• Commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards and maintaining confidentiality.
• Flexibility to work evenings or weekends as needed.
• Ability to take initiative to build strong alliances with school partners and work on a multidisciplinary team.
