Previous experience in personal assistance, AAC, autism, or intellectual disabilities is a merit.
"We particularly value someone who understands that relationship, patience, and trust are the foundation of good personal assistance work. In this assignment, it is often more important to adapt your pace to the individual than to drive the process yourself."
