About the job

Our Mission:

Make a tangible difference. Develop essential skills. Grow alongside us.

At Positive Development, we firmly believe that every child should have the opportunity to grow, learn, and flourish, and that every aspiring professional deserves fulfilling work that cultivates valuable skills for the future.

We engage individually with autistic children, fostering their communication, social, and daily living abilities through playful, relationship-driven interactions.

What Makes This Position Unique:

This role is not about passive observation; you will actively coach, connect, and contribute to children's development while gaining experience that is highly applicable to careers in:

  • Psychology

  • Social Work

  • Occupational Therapy

  • Speech Language Pathology

  • Education and Special Education

  • Counseling

  • Medicine and Health

This role is immensely rewarding, yet it demands patience, emotional maturity, and dedication. You will receive continuous support from seasoned clinicians and supervisors committed to your professional growth.

We are particularly eager to connect with candidates who are:

  • Enthusiastic about working with children and adolescents

  • Inquisitive about human development and learning processes

  • Patient, empathetic, and passionate

  • Dependable and committed to maintaining a consistent schedule (children rely on routine!)

  • Comfortable engaging directly with families in home environments

Ideal candidates include education majors, psychology students, pre-med students, nursing students, future occupational and speech therapists, behavior technicians, camp counselors, teaching assistants, childcare providers, direct support professionals, and caregivers.

Your Responsibilities as a Child Development Specialist:

You will work closely with children in developing vital skills through tailored activities and interactions.
