The Paraprofessional in the Autistic Support (AS) Classroom at Royersford Elementary School provides direct, hands‑on support to a 2nd‑grade student with communication, behavioral, social, sensory, and academic needs.

  • Model and prompt communication systems (AAC, PECS, sign language, visual supports).
  • Reinforce expressive and receptive language skills aligned with IEP goals.
  • Collaborate with speech‑language pathologists to carry out communication strategies.
  • Follow individualized behavior intervention plans with consistency and fidelity.
  • Use sensory supports such as movement breaks, calming tools, and sensory schedules.
  • Assist students during dysregulation using proactive strategies and district‑approved crisis intervention protocols.
  • Guide students through daily routines with clear visual and verbal prompts.
  • Support transitions between activities, specials, lunch, and recess.
  • Promote functional independence skills such as organization and self‑monitoring.
  • Collaborate with teachers, BCBAs, therapists, and administrators.
  • Collect accurate data on academic, behavioral, and communication progress.
  • Support classroom management and contribute to a positive, structured learning environment.
  • Attend IEP meetings when requested.
  • Perform additional duties as needed to ensure safe and effective program operations.

Qualifications:
  • High school diploma required.
  • Experience with elementary‑age students preferred.
  • Experience supporting students with autism or behavioral needs strongly preferred.
  • Strong communication skills, flexibility, reliability, and rapport‑building ability.
  • Ability to follow teacher direction, use computer systems, and maintain positive relationships.
  • Reliable transportation — car required.
