This is a heartwarming opportunity for compassionate providers who love making a difference! We work with members throughout Wisconsin to find providers that fit each of their needs. Our goal is to help individuals be in more control of their own supports and to have a say in who is assisting them. This helps them to stay in their own homes as long as possible.
We are seeking a compassionate and attentive respite provider to support a nonverbal child with autism. Responsibilities include ensuring safety through active supervision and engaging him in meaningful developmentally appropriate activities such as sensory play art projects and physical movement. The provider will incorporate his interests - such as driving toy vehicles (especially tractors and machines) exploring cause-and-effect toys like tinkering boards and Rube Goldberg-style setups and enjoying music through instruments like a piano keyboard - into daily routines. Occasional outings such as visits to childrens museums or outdoor excursions are encouraged. The child communicates using an AAC device and by physically guiding others to items of interest so the provider should be patient responsive and attentive to nonverbal cues while fostering engagement and exploration.
