Descripción del empleo

We are a family in the Little Elm / Frisco area seeking a part-time Special Education Teacher / Literacy & Communication Tutor for our young adult with autism and limited expressive speech. He understands spoken language well; speech is hard for him to produce, so comprehension must never be judged by what he can say aloud. You will assess current literacy (letter recognition, phonics, word recognition, comprehension, functional literacy) without requiring a spoken response for every task, build an individualized plan, and deliver systematic, explicit literacy instruction using phonics, functional vocabulary, picture and word supports and age-respectful materials. You will support communication with AAC and visual supports, coordinate with his speech-language pathologist when authorized, adapt sessions to sensory, attention and regulation needs, and keep brief, measurable progress records. Initially about three sessions a week of 30–60 minutes; compensation negotiable on qualifications, experience, preparation time and session length. This is a tutoring role, separate from our caregiver position.
