What Makes You, You
  • Subject Matter Depth: Strong understanding of executive dysfunction (ADHD, autism, learning differences, anxiety) and how it affects daily routines.
  • Practical Strategist: Proven ability to translate complex cognitive concepts into simple, real-world tools tailored to a child's age and learning style.
  • Collaborative Communicator: Excellent rapport-building skills with children, parents, and interdisciplinary care teams.
  • Tech & Compliance Savvy: Comfortable navigating EMR platforms and managing patient records in compliance with HIPAA guidelines.
The Basics You'll Need
  • Education: Associate's degree or higher in Special Education, Education, OT/COTA, SLP/SLPA, Counseling, Psychology, or a related human services field (equivalent practical experience considered).
