PREP is well known for its success in supporting families and children with Down syndrome, and we take pride in our role as an advocate for inclusion for over 37 years. Our therapists educate parents, health care professionals, and educators about best practices for skill development and identify measurable, achievable goals that motivate parents and professionals to work together to help each child realize their full potential.
PREP currently looking for a Behaviour Strategist to join our multidisciplinary team and make a real difference in the lives of children with Down syndrome. This unique opportunity will provide a range of experiences and allow you to share your expertise more broadly as you work alongside families, staff, educators, and other professionals. We are currently looking for someone who is able to provide support for children aged 0-12 with their FSCD contracts, consult with our program staff to support behaviour plans, and provide individualized support for families and students where appropriate. While there is flexibility in hours, FSCD contracts typically require therapy support to be offered outside of school hours, which means some later sessions may be necessary (these would end no later than 5:30pm). It is important to us that you are well connected with and supported by our multidisciplinary team, so daytime availability will be required to attend meetings and connect with other PREP professionals.
