As a Special Education Paraprofessional at The Learning Spectrum, you will work closely with teachers, therapists, and behavior specialists to support students with autism and related special needs.

  • Ability to implement lesson plans, behavior interventions, and therapy strategies under supervision

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills for working with multidisciplinary teams

  • Educator aide permit (or willingness to obtain) and completion of all required background checks

  • Physical ability to assist students safely, including lifting, bending, and maintaining engagement throughout the school day

What You’ll Do

  • Provide direct support to students individually and in small groups to reinforce instructional and behavioral goals

  • Implement lessons and activities developed by teachers and therapists with consistency and accuracy

  • Collect data and document progress toward academic, behavioral, and IEP objectives

  • Support students with daily routines, transitions, and self-care activities while maintaining a safe, structured classroom

  • Communicate observations and updates to teachers and therapists to guide student progress and planning

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Enjoy both paid time off and extra paid school breaks (for select roles), plus paid holidays

  • Wellness perks including gym discounts, mindfulness apps, and prescription savings

  • Tuition reimbursement, career development programs, and leadership training

  • 401(k) retirement savings with a 4% company match and immediate vesting

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance

  • Free Employee Assistance Program with confidential counseling, life coaching, and mental health resources

  • Life insurance, disability coverage, and Health Savings Account (HSA) contributions at no cost to you
