Delivering age-appropriate, ability-appropriate instruction from step-by-step guidance to using high-visibility equipment for participants with visual challenges
Supporting the creation and implementation of individualized behavior plans
Keeping parents and guardians in the loop with consistent, twice-weekly communication about progress, activities, and any behavior-related updates
Maintaining clean, organized program spaces through end-of-day tasks like sweeping, mopping, washing dishes, emptying trash, and organizing storage areas
