Line Therapist

Being a WEAP therapist is a very special experience. Most jobs require a lot of work with little personal benefit. The feeling you get when you help a child learn a new skill is more than money can buy. WEAP is making a difference in the lives of families and you can be a part of that.

Although we have 4 clinics throughout Wisconsin, you may never have to go to one. This is because therapy is conducted in the family’s home. Therapists work on a team for each child. This team is headed up by the Senior Therapist who constructs a therapy program specifically tailored to the child.

New team members are trained to become great teachers for their children. We use ABA or Applied Behavior Analysis therapy. This means that we give the child a task to accomplish, like picking a yellow object from 3 different ones in a line. When they get it right they are praised and rewarded in many different fun ways. This can be letting them play with a favorite toy, fun play activities or a variety of other things. We have many things kids love to do, and this makes therapy fun for both the child and the therapist.

You can work for as little as 6 hours per week all the way up to full time, but be aware that requires driving to several different clients a day. We do partially reimburse for travel as well.
