• Work independently with strong professional judgment

Requirements

• Minimum 2 years of experience working with autistic teens or adults
• Comfortable working independently in homes and public settings

• Experience with sensory regulation, executive‑function support, or AAC
• Interest in mentorship, training, or leadership over time
