About the Role
Schedule: M, T, Th, F: 3:30 pm - 7:30 pm, W 2:30 pm - 7:30 pm, and 1-2 weekends per month (Saturday & Sunday), all-day.
About: The client is a 15-year-old girl. The family would like a DSP who is vaccinated for COVID. Someone who will prompt her with everyday tasks such as folding her clothes, brushing her teeth, and taking a shower. Someone who will also take her into the community for fun events or color with her at home. The DSP needs to have thick skin as this client has behavioral issues including verbal aggression such as swearing at the DSP. These behaviors are likely a result of her exposure to drugs/alcohol in the womb. She has a therapist and psychiatrist to try to help her manage her behavior. She would benefit from someone who can work collaboratively and ask for support, including ongoing support and training with her PBSP (Positive Behavior Support Plan).
