The lead teacher is responsible for communicating with families and writing an end of camp summary of camper’s progress. The lead teacher should have classroom/ therapy experience. Direct work in social learning with children with ASDs is preferred.

Assistant Teacher:

Responsible for assisting the teacher in development and implementation of instructional and behavioral programs. Depending on the needs of the group the staff member with this role may also be serving another staff role.

"At Take2, we get a chance to zero in on an important challenge and work on the skills needed to beat this challenge. For a lot of our kiddos, this goal centers around making friends. As a teacher, it was wonderful to witness the genuine happiness a kid experienced when he had a "friend moment"--playing games, finding a common interest, hanging out. That was my favorite part about working at Take2." --Lindsey Sitz (Assistant Teacher, 2011)
