What made you decide to apply to Lighthouse?
I applied to Lighthouse Autism Center to broaden my experience, building on my background working with children in community centers and my time as a Mental Health Technician at Oaklawn Children’s Campus. Along the way, I discovered a newfound passion for ABA therapy!
What is your favorite part of working at Lighthouse Autism Center?
My favorite part of working at LAC would be working 1:1 with the learners and collaborating with the Program Managers and other therapist to create the unique treatment plans so that our learner can learn and implement skills that increases their everyday communication.
How would you describe your experience working for Lighthouse?
My experience with working with autistic kids allows me to create an environment where they feel understood and supported. Each child has their unique way of seeing the world, and I love discovering those individual perspectives while helping them build confidence and skills. The small victories whether it’s a new communication breakthrough, a successful social interaction, or a moment of pure joy make the work incredibly rewarding.
Do you have a favorite memory from your time here?
My favorite memory of LAC would have to be watching the kids at their final ceremonies and seeing their families join them in celebrating all of their successes!
What advice would you like to share for those interested in a career at Lighthouse Autism Center?
My advice to those interested in a career with LAC would be be patient and flexible! Children with autism may communicate, learn, or behave differently than other peers of their age. Be patient, flexible and willing to adjust your approach based on each learners specific needs and preference. Progress can take time and celebrating small accomplishments is a major key!
