Hi all,

We have an Assistant Director of Special Education position open here in

lovely Ann Arbor, Michigan (see below). Out local parent autism group

to see folks get hired who are experienced with using research based

interventions such as ABA, VB, Direct Instruction, Precision teaching

and other data based methods for teaching. We have already hired an

Autism Coordinator who will have the BCBA credential as well as

experience and training in all of the above mention areas. So we would

love to get more folks with these excellent credentials!

Support Services (basically the Special Ed Director), Pam Krogness. Her
