Job Description

Thank you for your interest in Skillful Steps ABA!

We provide neurodiversity-affirming, assent-based ABA to children and adolescents with a range of developmental, behavioral, and mental health diagnoses. We hold a few things as central: every learner’s differences are respected, every session is a safe and trusting space, and success is defined by what is meaningful to the learner and their family. We also believe this work should be enjoyable, for learners and staff alike. If those values align with yours, we'd like you to learn more about what it means to be part of our team.

• Support and expand each learner’s access to communication across all modalities
• Communicate regularly with caregivers about progress and bring their priorities and observations back to the clinical team
• Create teaching materials and visuals tailored to the learner’s interests and communication needs
• Recognize signs of dysregulation or withdrawn assent and respond by adjusting the session
• Maintain confidentiality and professionalism in all interactions
• Participate in ongoing training and professional development, including training in assent-based and trauma-informed practice
