This role is an opportunity to make a difference while acquiring valuable skills. We provide training and on-going guidance on using developmental, play-based techniques. We are looking for a friendly, creative, caring and dependable person, to provide instruction, companionship and support for our son, a young adult with high-functioning autism, who is friendly and talkative.

Outings, such as library, gym and (if you can swim) possibly swimming at the local pool, may be done as well.

With your help, our son can try new activities and practice daily living skills.
