Our school team provides special education services that address the unique needs and potential of each student. This is a great job for anyone interested in making a difference, and those seeking financial assistance to further their education.
A high school diploma is required, and previous experience working with applied behavioral analysis and/or children with developmental disabilities is preferred. We offer outstanding pay and benefits, including tuition reimbursement and child care subsidies!
