This program is dedicated to providing personal growth opportunities for adults aged 21 and over who have intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, emotional and/or behavioral differences, and brain injuries. The primary goal of CAAPP is to facilitate participants in becoming more independent, productive, and socially connected members of their local communities. CSPs will play a crucial role in this mission by offering community-based support and skill development to young adults diagnosed with autism who are transitioning out of educational programs. As a CSP, you will provide support in various areas including communication, social skills, self-care, work readiness, vocational training, and community-based supportive employment. You will utilize evidence-based instructional strategies to help participants achieve their goals across home, community, and work settings. Additionally, you will be responsible for completing progress notes and data collection for each participant, ensuring that their development is tracked effectively. Collaboration with the Integration Specialist and Behavior Support Specialist will also be part of your role, as you work together to identify areas of strength and need for each participant. This position is designed for individuals who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of adults with autism and other developmental disabilities. The role offers flexible scheduling based on your availability, with typical assignments involving supporting participants for approximately four hours per week. This is a contract position, and candidates must be comfortable using their vehicle to transport clients to various locations. The hourly rate for this position ranges from $18.00 to $20.00, with additional bonuses available based on hours billed.
