Our best therapists have been individuals who are students in social work, psychology, behavior analysis or other clinical fields who want practical experience with this population.  Experience preferred, but not at all requited.  Hours variable depending on the person and fit with scheduled. Its a great job for people who are in school or taking a break from school!  If you have questions, contact the director of clinical services, Jessica Greenson. PhD. greenson@uw.edu
