What kind of jobs are there working with little kids?

North american jobs for someone working with autistic ?special needs kids?

  • I have a bachelors in psychology from Concordia university and I am in the middle of getting a certificate in autism. I have been working at the same place for 6 years which is a reintegration center in montreal to help autistic kids (support at home and school). I would be interested in moving to the states or other parts of Canada but would like to know what the other high paying oppurtunities are. If you do live somewhere other then montreal and know good jobs with those qualifications..can you please let me know average salary and if the job is in demand. Any links to jobs would be great.

  • Answer:

    In addition to your educational children, you have real world experience that is invaluable. The best paying jobs for special education children in the states are in the states that take special education especially seriously, such as Massachusetts or New Jersey. Experience here can be used as a springboard to other jobs elsewhere in the country, where you might be in greater demand but have fewer resources to support you. I have heard of experienced private ABA program consultants making 6 figure incomes, but more realistically you can expect something in the area of $40,000 and up. A masters degree will help, and some places you can work in the states even offer subsidized in-the-workplace programs for masters degrees from local universities. An ABA certification can help a lot. Good luck!
