Kingston is nestled in the scenic Hudson Valley, offering a blend of vibrant culture, historical charm, and easy access to outdoor adventures. Outside your meaningful work, explore picturesque hiking trails, eclectic local eateries, and a thriving arts scene to enrich your downtime.
This experience will expand your skills through exposure to collaborative, evidence-based therapies and diverse instructional methods. Take advantage of a supportive, transdisciplinary environment where your growth is valued, and add significant depth to your professional resume while building lifelong relationships and memories.

What You’ll Do:

- Follow pre-made schedules—no need to manage your own caseload time slots
- Utilize designated electronic documentation software; a laptop provided for work tasks
- Take part in morning/afternoon prep times for planning, documentation, and team meetings
- Employ sensory processing strategies and push-in services as needed
- Work collaboratively in a transdisciplinary team environment
- Participate in robust training, including behavior management and orientation specific to the program
