Personal Attendant |
|
I am
Melissa Delaney, mother of a 13-year old
autistic boy. We live in the Holleybrooke
subdivision of Spotsylvania. Our son, RH, has
been attending The Faison School for Autism in
Richmond since 2005. He has been approved for
participation in the state's DD Waiver Program.
One of the benefits he has been approved for is
20 hours a week of personal attendant (PA)
support and 720 hours of respite care per
year. Our first applicant for the job backed
out at the last minute and we are trying to
locate suitable candidates.
One of the suggestion given by our case
manager was to contact the university and see if
they had any education or psychology students
who might want to gain experience working with
an autistic child. The hours will be flexible
as we have two other sons (9 and 11) and one on
the way in June. The position is compensated at
$11.14 per hour, paid every two weeks by the
State of Virginia. Applicants are subject to
criminal background child registry checks (state
requirement).
Below is a basic description of the duties
associated with the position. If you have any
students interested have them contact me or my
husband (Roy) at 540-786-8990. We are willing
to hire more than one PA for added flexibility -
splitting hours, accounting for back up, etc.
Please let us know if there is a more
appropriate method for asking for this type of
support. We appreciate any other ideas you may
have on potential applicants.
