Job description

Contracted Temporary Behavioral Specialist
The Contracted Behavioral Specialist provides short-term, classroom-based behavioral and social-emotional support during the summer for children ages 3–5 in early learning classrooms. This role is designed to support children with IEPs who are unable to receive school-based services during summer closure and who are not eligible for extended school year services, as well as children demonstrating developmental, behavioral, or social-emotional needs who may not yet have a diagnosis or IEP. The specialist works directly in classrooms to provide interventions and push-in support, model effective strategies for teachers, support inclusive participation, and help maintain safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate learning environments.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
1. Classroom-Based Behavioral Support
  • Provide direct, classroom-based behavioral and social-emotional support to children ages 3–5 in early learning settings during the summer program.
  • Support children with IEPs who are unable to access school-based services during summer closure and who are not eligible for extended school year services.
  • Provide support for children who may not yet have a diagnosis or IEP but who demonstrate behavioral, developmental, or social-emotional needs that affect classroom participation.
  • Observe children in classroom routines and identify strengths, triggers, and effective supports to improve participation and regulation.
  • Implement developmentally appropriate interventions and strategies aligned with children’s individual needs and classroom goals.
2. Teacher Coaching and Classroom Consultation
  • Model and coach teachers on practical behavior support strategies, classroom accommodations, and proactive responses that promote children’s engagement and regulation.
  • Partner with teaching staff to implement developmentally appropriate strategies that support inclusion, transitions, peer interactions, and participation in classroom routines.
  • Support teachers in distinguishing developmentally expected behaviors from behaviors that may warrant additional intervention or referral.
  • Recommend classroom and environmental adjustments that strengthen positive behavior supports and reduce barriers to participation.
3. Collaboration, Documentation, and Follow-Up
  • Collaborate with site leadership, mental health team, teachers, and families, as appropriate, to share observations and support consistent intervention approaches.
  • Maintain timely, accurate documentation of classroom support provided, observed progress, strategies used, and follow-up recommendations.
  • Communicate emerging concerns to designated supervisors and contribute to recommendations for additional evaluation or support when needed.
  • Perform other related duties consistent with the temporary summer support nature of the role.

3. Required Skills
  • Knowledge of early childhood development, social-emotional learning, and behavior support strategies for children ages 3–5.
  • Experience supporting children with IEPs, developmental differences, autism spectrum disorder, or behavioral and emotional needs in inclusive settings preferred.
  • Ability to model practical interventions for teachers and classroom teams using approaches grounded in play therapy, mental health, developmental therapy, or similar evidence-informed practices.
  • Strong observation, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to work collaboratively with teachers, families, and multidisciplinary staff.
  • Ability to maintain accurate records, document support provided, and communicate recommendations clearly and professionally.
  • Ability to remain calm, flexible, and responsive in active classroom environments and during periods of dysregulation or high need.
