About The Position

Looking to take your career to the next level with paid supervision? Unlike many places that charge for supervision, we pay you for your time and growth.

The work is a blend of home and school settings, providing an opportunity to establish connections with school districts and gain practical experience with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). As part of the role, you'll actively engage in IEP meetings and collaborate with professionals who share similar goals.
