Tutors
Families of our clients are seeking early childhood teachers or bright college students majoring in fields including communicative disorders, occupational therapy, psychology, and early childhood education to provide 1:1 tutoring to their young children (2-8) diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders. The children participate in home-based intervention programs based on a Developmental, Individual-Difference, Relationship-Based (DIR) model. The home programs serve to supplement and reinforce the children’s primary educational placements and therapeutic programs.
Applicants must be reliable, patient, organized, and energetic, with excellent communication skills. The positions require a general understanding of typical child development and experience working with young children. A background in child development would be more important than experience with autism. Although tutors are not employed by or affiliated with Playworks, our agency does provide consultative services and support to the families and tutors.
Positions are currently available in Redlands, Riverside, LaVerne, and Palm Desert. In addition to working with a child 4-12 hours per week, tutors are also expected to attend at least one therapy session per week and a team meeting once a month. The therapy sessions and team meetings with Playworks staff are at our clinic in downtown Redlands.
The positions offer flexible hours, ongoing training/support with Playworks staff, and excellent experience for students majoring in related fields. Hourly rate is $10-12 commensurate with education/experience. Interested applicants are requested to submit a letter of interest and resume with three professional references to Kelli Wilms, M.S., CCC-SLP. Our contact info is as follows:
