- Foster a safe, structured environment where students thrive both academically and in pre-vocational skills.
- Develop and implement individualized education plans (IEPs).
- Collaborate closely with classroom support staff and clinical teams.
- Communicate effectively with non-verbal students using alternative or augmentative communication methods.
