Make a meaningful difference. Develop essential skills. Join us in our journey.

At Positive Development, we are dedicated to ensuring every child has the opportunity to grow, learn, and succeed. We also believe that every emerging professional deserves impactful work that fosters real skills for their future.

We engage one-on-one with autistic children, assisting them in enhancing their communication, social, and daily living skills through interactive, play-based, and relationship-centered approaches.

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

This role is immensely rewarding but demands patience, emotional intelligence, and a strong commitment. You will have the unwavering support of seasoned clinicians and supervisors who are committed to your professional growth.

We are particularly eager to welcome candidates who are:

  • Enthusiastic about working with children and adolescents
  • Inquisitive about human development and educational methodologies
  • Patient, empathetic, and energetic
  • Dependable and committed to maintaining a consistent schedule (children thrive on consistency!)
  • Comfortable collaborating directly with families in home environments

Ideal candidates include those studying Education, Psychology, Pre-Med, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Speech Language Pathology, Behavior Technicians, Camp Counselors, Teacher’s Aides, Childcare Providers, Direct Support Professionals, and Caregivers.
