As a Play-Based Autism Professional (also referred to as a Developmental Paraprofessional (DPP), you’ll work one-on-one with children, to help them develop communication, social, and daily living skills. Your role is hands-on—helping kids learn through play and conversation to grow in their ability to think, create, communicate and meaningfully connect with others. Your day-to-day responsibilities will be focused on working directly with children in their homes or in our therapy centers using fun and engaging interaction to help them grow. You will be expected to document session notes and progress toward goals. You will also work directly with clinicians and supervisors to gain skills and allow for career growth.

What You'll Do:
* Build trusting relationships by understanding clients' holistic developmental needs (emotional, social, mental health).
* Facilitate play-based learning for self-regulation, social skills, daily living skills, emotion recognition, and problem-solving.
* Adapt to client's home environments to foster meaningful interactions and routines in natural settings and communities.
* Maintain professional clinical notes after each session, detailing progress toward goals.
* Collaborate with a multidisciplinary DIRFloortime team to provide relational interventions and improve clinical outcomes.
