Why This Role?
Are you a credentialed Special Education professional looking to make a profound, one-on-one impact? We are seeking a dedicated specialist to support a student navigating a recent transition to dual sensory loss. This is not a standard classroom role; you will be the student’s primary connection to the world, providing both Deaf-Blind Intervener support and Specialized Academic Instruction (SAI).
The Impact You’ll Make
As a Dual-Role Specialist, you will act as the student's "eyes and ears," utilizing tactile communication to bridge the gap between the curriculum and the student’s environment.
- Access & Advocacy: Use tactile sign language and hand-over-hand methodologies to facilitate expressive and receptive communication.
- Instructional Leadership: Deliver SAI tailored to the student’s IEP goals, ensuring no "dead time" in their educational development.
- Environmental Mapping: Help the student navigate and "map" their surroundings to foster independence and autonomy.
- Collaborative Success: Work directly with the District’s Due Process department to fulfill compensatory education requirements.
What We’re Looking For
- Education: A valid California Education Specialist Instruction Credential (Visual Impairments, Deaf and Hard of Hearing, or Extensive Support Needs).
- Experience: Proven experience with tactile communication methodologies (Tactile Sign, Hand-under-Hand).
- Mindset: A compassionate, patient professional who understands the social-emotional challenges of dual sensory loss.
- Communication: Strong ability to document progress for compensatory education reporting.
Perks of Joining Tutor Me Education
- Premium Compensation: We offer top-tier rates for highly specialized roles.
- Direct Impact: 1-on-1 focus without the administrative burden of a full classroom.
- Consistent Support: Work with a National Director who understands the nuances of ADR and Due Process cases.
Equal Opportunity Employer: Tutor Me Education is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer, committed to diversity and inclusion. We do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age, or veteran status. We encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.
