Job Description:
We are seeking enthusiastic educators to create an exciting &
challenging experience for children with special needs. Help
prepare young children for meaningful lives by teaching cognitive,
social-emotional and motor skills throughout the day. Join our
culture of patient-centered care. Kids Unlimited Learning Academy
(KULA) is an early intervention day treatment clinic for children
with special needs. Once children are referred to KULA by their
primary care physicians, they must receive a developmental
screening. Then, they may be scheduled for therapy evaluations at
KULA or bring recent therapy evaluation reports done elsewhere. To
receive Early Intervention Day Treatment habilitation services, a
child must have a documented developmental disability or delay, as
shown on the results of an annual comprehensive developmental
evaluation and qualify for at least one therapy service. Those
services include (but are not limited to) fine motor delays,
sensory disorders, gross motor delays, speech-language delays,
hearing disorders, feeding disorders, developmental delays,
cognitive delays and medical needs. Children are placed in
treatment rooms based on their developmental needs and ages. Our
treatment rooms are adequately staffed with teachers and teachers'
assistants and are designed to celebrate the cultural differences
of the children and families we serve. KULA has many licensed
occupational therapists , physical therapists , and speech-language
pathologists on staff to provide needed care to the children who
qualify for therapy services. And, KULA has nurses on staff to
serve children with medical needs. KULA's services also include
developmental/psychological testing by a licensed psychologist,
nutritional evaluations and consultations, and audiological
evaluations. Our whole treatment team works together and with our
patients' families to make sure each child's needs are met. KULA
typically treats children from birth to Kindergarten. However, we
try to expand our services during the summer months to include
elementary school-aged children with special needs. If you have a
child who may benefit from our services, we would love to hear from
you . QUALIFICATIONS Education/ Certification: A Bachelor's Degree
