About The Position

House of Possibilities is in search of a full-time dynamic Autism Coach to provide in community and on campus support for adults with Autism in the Coaching & College Navigation program. Coaching, which includes Pre-Engagement, is an individualized one-to-one service between an individual on the autism spectrum and a qualified professional coach to promote independence and real involvement in community life and the world of work by identifying and working on the barriers the individual is facing.
