  • Be prepared to respond calmly and effectively to crises or challenging situations, utilizing de-escalation techniques and following established protocols to ensure the safety and well-being of the student.
  • Provide support during transitions and unstructured times to help the student navigate changes and reduce stress.
  • Engage in ongoing professional development to stay current on best practices for supporting Level 3 autistic students, including training in behavior management, sensory integration, personal care, communication strategies, and life skills instruction.
Requirements:

  • Ability to implement individualized strategies, including behavior intervention plans, communication supports, personal care routines, and life skills instruction.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work collaboratively with a diverse team.
  • Patience, empathy, and a commitment to fostering an inclusive educational environment.
Cultural Competency:
  • Understanding of Indigenous cultures, traditions, and contemporary issues.
  • Experience working within Indigenous communities and applying culturally safe practices.
