Autism Connections is seeking a Behaviour Support Specialist to provide individualized behaviour analytic services, support clinical staff, and help develop programs that make a meaningful difference in the lives of autistic children, youth, and adults.

About Autism Connections
Autism Connections is a community-based, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting autistic individuals and their families. We are passionate about helping people build meaningful skills, strengthen connections, and participate in their communities in ways that reflect their own interests, strengths, and goals. We recognize that each person’s experience of autism is different, and that effective support begins with listening to individuals and the people who matter to them.

Our services support skill development, communication, social participation, independence, and quality of life. Through individualized behaviour services, family and caregiver collaboration, and opportunities for learning and connection, we work to make everyday life more accessible and fulfilling. We collaborate with educators, healthcare professionals, and community partners to help families access coordinated supports across settings.

As a non-profit, our work is guided by community needs and a commitment to making a meaningful difference. We value respectful relationships, ethical services, and approaches that are neurodiversity-affirming, person centred, and responsive to each individual’s circumstances. Supporting families also means recognizing their priorities, acknowledging the challenges they may face, and working alongside them to develop practical, sustainable strategies.
