We have One on One Student Aide positions open in both our Kiefer School and Academy for Autism.
Kiefer School provides special education for children who experience difficulty in their home school due to severe emotional, behavioral and/or learning challenges. The goal is to improve a child’s ability to function within the public school setting by providing intensive intervention in small classrooms and a range of treatment and support services to the student and their family. Kiefer is an AdvancEd accredited, ISBE-approved private school.
Our Academy for Autism serves students ages 5-21 with an educational or medical diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Through intervention with ISBE licensed educators and teacher assistants in each classroom and small class sizes, our students are able to find their pathway to success using innovative tools and techniques geared towards those with Autism.
One on One is assigned to a particular student and provides individualized assistance based on that particular student's needs. The One on One also assists the teacher with classroom activities to ensure academic and behavioral functioning of students, and maintains professional boundaries and demeanor. One on One Student Aides are vitally important to the educational development of students and form close professional relationships to the students they are assigned to.
