• Prior experience in school settings, especially with high-needs populations (autism, behavioral)
• Strong communication, collaboration, and documentation skills
• Flexibility to respond proactively within a dynamic multidisciplinary team

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with educators, families, and related service staff to facilitate student progress
• Maintain timely and compliant treatment records and reports
• Adapt strategies to meet individualized needs in both ESY (July 1–24, 8am–2pm) and NSY (Aug 12–Nov 1, 8am–3:30pm) schedules
