Autism Teacher

General Information:

St Paul Music Academy is seeking a Teacher – Autism.

Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that significantly affects verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction. The characteristics are generally evident before age 3 and may adversely affect a child’s educational performance. Autism interferes with the normal development of the brain in the areas of reasoning, social interaction and communication skills. Children and adults with autism typically have deficiencies in verbal and nonverbal communication, social interactions, and leisure or play activities. The disorder makes it hard for them to communicate with others and relate to the outside world. They may exhibit repeated body movements, unusual responses to people or attachments to objects and resist any changes in routines. In some cases, aggressive and/or self-injurious behavior may be present. Autism occurs on a continuum from mild to severe and it occurs by itself or in association with other disorders such as developmental cognitive disability or fragile X syndrome.
