Job Description:
Job Description Job Description Description: Our young clients,
ages 2-5 want to hang out with you! Heartleaf ABA is a center-based
program that works with young kids with autism, and we are hiring
people that enjoy children of this age and are comfortable/have
experience of being around people with autism. We use a technique
called ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) to help them build skills
for life- and we will teach it to you. Using ABA, our kids make
amazing progress- going from non-verbal to talking and laughing,
from pull ups to using the toilet, from isolation to group
activities. It is so satisfying (and emotional) to see the progress
they make. Their work with you is the reason this happens! We teach
parents how to use these same tools so progress can continue at
home. Our staff are BHPs (Behavioral Health Professionals)- trained
through a 35-hour online program with several lives' sessions. This
can take place during the first several months of employment. This
training is incorporated with the more technical ABA skills to play
with the children, introduce them to games and early education
routines, reading, socializing etc., following a plan created by
the parents, and master level BCBAs (Board Certified Behavior
Analysts). You will participate in training to become a Registered
Behavior Technician or RBT in the first weeks of employment. This
role is part nursery schoolteacher, part analyst, part big
brother/sister mentor. We also want our BHPs to get additional
training to become an RBT (registered behavior technician) to gain
more skills specific to using ABA. Although RBTs aren’t well known
in Maine, the designation is very common in other states across the
country and widely recognized. Requirements: We would love to talk
to you if you are interested and fit our criteria: · HS graduate or
GED · Experience working with children, especially those with
autism · Happy to sit and play on the floor, run after and with
kids, change diapers · Ready to learn the technical skills of ABA
and using a tablet to record data · Tech savvy · Outgoing, positive
and enthusiastic personality · Excellent communication skills –
verbal and written
