About the Role
Schedule: Monday 3pm-6pm and Friday 9:30am-6pm. Must be able to provide transportation.
Description: 9-year-old girl, looking for a calm and fun DSP. Dad would like the DSP to use skills learned in speech therapy as much as possible. If the client is comfortable with the DSP, she may need help cleaning after bowel movements, currently dad is in charge, and she will hold her bowel movements until he gets home. DSP will need to be comfortable with the client showing love with hugs and physical touch. Currently the client doesn't have any sort of math homework or English homework, but her school may ask her to do a life skill task at home, for example, cooking a recipe. The client loves to draw pictures and create story books on her iPad. She also likes watching cooking videos on YouTube and videos on how to do slime and may want the DSP to participate and do the activity with her. The client's parent would love it if the DSP were able to get the client to go outside and get some fresh air in the backyard.
