- Support skills such as personal hygiene, food preparation, home organization, money management, community access, transportation, and safe technology use.
- Encourage independence without completing tasks for the participant.
- Follow individualized goals, support plans, medical considerations, and safety procedures.
- Use visual supports, adaptive tools, and environmental modifications when appropriate.
- Follow confidentiality and incident-reporting requirements.
Qualifications
Applicants must have either:
- At least two years of experience working with the population being served; or
- Comprehensive child-specific training that prepares them to competently support the assigned participant.
Additional requirements include:
- Participation in training related to each participant’s strengths, goals, needs, support plans, medical needs, and culture.
- Willingness to participate in ongoing training and continuing education.
Experience may come from caregiving, education, childcare, special education, community programs, healthcare, behavioral support, and/or other disability-related settings.
