At Positive Development, we are dedicated to providing every child with the opportunity to develop, learn, and succeed. We also believe that every emerging professional should have access to meaningful work that cultivates essential skills for the future.

Our focus is on one-on-one interactions with autistic children, fostering their communication, social, and daily living skills through engaging, play-based methods grounded in strong relationships.

What Makes This Role Unique:

This is not just an “observe and assist” position. You will be actively involved in coaching, connecting, and facilitating growth for children, while simultaneously acquiring experience that is highly relevant for careers in:

  • Psychology
  • Social Work
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Speech Language Pathology
  • Education and Special Education
  • Counseling
  • Medicine and Health

This role is profoundly rewarding but demands patience, emotional maturity, and dedication. Throughout your journey, you will receive support from seasoned clinicians and supervisors committed to your professional development.

We are particularly eager to meet candidates who are:

  • Passionate about engaging with children and teens
  • Curious about human development and learning processes
  • Patient, empathetic, and enthusiastic
  • Reliable and committed to maintaining a consistent schedule (children thrive on stability!)
  • Comfortable working directly with families in a home environment

Ideal candidates may include education majors, psychology students, pre-med students, nursing students, and others with a keen interest in child development.
