Sensory and Academic Coach

About Us

Brain Balance Achievement Centers help children with learning, behavioral, and social challenges reach their full potential through our unique, non-medical sensory-motor and cognitive program.

The Role

We’re looking for compassionate, energetic, and reliable individuals (especially college students!) to join our team as Sensory and Academic Coaches. You’ll work directly with children, including those with more complex needs on the autism spectrum.

Key Responsibilities

•  Encourage and support children through sensory-motor exercises, core strengthening, cognitive training, auditory processing, and visual processing activities.

•  Implement individualized Brain Balance programs in a fun, engaging way.

•  Build supportive relationships with the children and help them stay motivated.

•  Track session progress and collaborate with center leadership.

What We’re Looking For

•  Strong preference for candidates with experience working with autistic children or kids with developmental challenges.

•  Previous experience as an RBT, ABA technician, special education aide, teacher, tutor, or in pediatrics is a big plus.

•  High school diploma or equivalent required; college students in psychology, education, child development, or related fields are highly encouraged to apply.

•  Patient, energetic, reliable, and passionate about helping kids.

•  Commitment to a consistent part-time schedule and at least 1 year with us (we invest heavily in your training!).

Compensation & Benefits

•  Training Rate: $20/hour (comprehensive paid training).

•  Regular Rate: $22 – $25/hour once fully trained and leading students (starting at $22 with raises based on performance).

•  Flexible part-time hours ideal for college schedules.

•  Hands-on experience that looks great on resumes for education/psychology careers.
