Child Autism Therapy Support – Entry-Level, Paid Training

What a Day Looks Like

• Playing games on the floor to work on language or social skills
• Helping a child learn how to ask for help, tie their shoes, or transition between tasks
• Managing tough moments like meltdowns or elopement with patience and a calm presence
• Tracking progress and taking session notes so your BCBA can update therapy plans
• Communicating with your team throughout the day to problem-solve, celebrate wins, and adjust support as needed
• Staying flexible—every child is different, and every day brings something new
