If this sounds like you, then read on for an exciting opportunity to join us at the Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin!

The Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin is a statewide, volunteer-driven non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the lives of individuals with Down syndrome and their families through awareness, education, information, programs, services, and the exchange of ideas and experiences.

  • Independently supporting small group instruction under the direction of DSAW lead staff.
  • Implementing daily schedules and classroom curriculum/activities to support participants in mastering individual and group goals and objectives.
  • Developing effective rapport with participants and preventing behavior problems by consistently implementing behavior plans, and by using strategies that reinforce positive behavior.
  • Supporting and reinforcing participant experiences within community settings.
The DSAW Program Assistant is expected to:
  • Be on time to work and maintain focus on job tasks throughout the day.
  • Dress in a professional manner to positively represent DSAW.
  • Respectfully communicate and interact with all staff, and to collaborate with staff to work together as a team.
  • Assist with personal care as needed.
  • Depending on the programming at their site, the PA could work some evenings and weekends to support this role.

  • Applicants must have a valid driver’s license and insured vehicle
  • Applicants must pass a background check that meets State of Wisconsin requirements.
