About the Role
As an Educational Support Personnel member in Special Education, you will play a vital role in the daily lives of students with diverse needs. Working under the supervision of certified teachers and in alignment with individual student IEPs, you will help prepare for and execute classroom instructional events, as well as educational and non-educational activities.
Your day will involve partnering with teachers to implement special strategies and interventions tailored to individual student needs, interests, and abilities. You will serve as a positive role model, treating every student with the respect due to them as individual members of the community. The role requires close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, including BCBA and RBT staff, to reinforce skill development, support community integration, and ensure a successful learning experience.
You will work directly with students to provide support in academics, social skills, self-care (ADLs), and vocational tasks. This includes assisting with behavioral interventions, implementing safety and behavior plans, and utilizing ABA strategies such as discrete trials and de-escalation techniques.

Beyond direct student interaction, you will assist with non-instructional duties such as supervising movement throughout the school, proctoring tests, and monitoring students during breaks, lunches, and community trips. You will also help set up and operate instructional technology and participate in professional development activities to meet district expectations.
