Position Overview
Soliant Education is seeking a qualified Teacher of Students with Disabilities to support a self-contained classroom serving students on the autism spectrum between the ages of 5 and 8. There are currently one to two openings based on program needs. The educator will provide structured, individualized instruction while fostering a supportive and consistent learning environment.

Requirements
Candidates must hold a New York State license in Special Education (Students with Disabilities) or be actively working toward certification. Applicants who have recently earned a master’s degree or are transferring an out-of-state license may be considered, as the school is often supportive in these situations.

Prior experience writing IEPs is required, and candidates should be prepared to discuss their experience and approach during the interview process.
