  • Implement visual supports, technology tools, and structured strategies that promote autonomy.
  • Collaborate with families and team members to ensure successful outcomes.

Requirements

  • Minimum 3 years of experience working with autistic teens or adults, particularly individuals with high-support behavioral needs.
  • Current or recent crisis intervention certification (CPI, QBS, Pro-ACT, or equivalent)
  • Experience managing aggressive behaviors, de-escalation, and crisis situations independently.
  • Strong communication skills, professionalism, reliability, and sound judgment.
