Please see below for a message from Nicole Cissell, Clinical Director at BGF Children’s Therapy, regarding available positions:

Hello!

I am the Clinical Director at BGF Children’s Therapy. We provide in-home and center-based behavior therapy for children diagnosed with Autism. I am reaching out because we are searching for individuals to work one on one with the children we serve during this summer and into Fall 2024. Ideal candidates are working on their Bachelor’s or Master’s in a related field and have some experience with children. We train our staff in behavior analytic principles and the skills necessary to work with children diagnosed with Autism. We have hired students from DePaul in the past and have been very happy with their work and dedication. Hourly rates range from $20-$25, depending on experience.

If you know of any students who might be interested, please provide them with my contact information. Students can email (nicole@bgftherapy.com) or call (312-806-7937).

Below is information on timely resources and events from the Illinois Student Assistance Commission:
