Job description
Jacob’s Ladder Neurodevelopmental School and Therapy Center
is looking for compassionate, steadfast, and self-directed individuals to join our team as
Psychosocial Providers/Teachers
within our
Hope School Program
. Applicants must desire the opportunity to undergo intensive skill and knowledge training in preparation to work with individuals experiencing brain-based challenges.
Jacob’s Ladder is a non-profit, SAIS-SACS accredited private school serving clients pre-k through 12th grade, utilizing a whole-brain, whole-person educational approach. Additionally, as a therapeutic and rehabilitative-based entity, we help individuals from infancy to young adulthood using a comprehensive, integrated, evidence-based therapeutic service model. Our in-center program offerings depend on the needs of the individuals we serve. Providers can expect a high degree of one-to-one intervention, coupled with low ratios of clients to providers (i.e., two-to-one, three-to-one ratios) and small group instruction with multiple providers placed in each group. In addition, Jacob’s Ladder offers program settings that specialize in meeting the specific needs of our clients through highly intensive, therapeutic means - all facilitated by the proprietary Jacob’s Ladder Methodology and Interpersonal Whole Brain Model of Care (IWBMC™). Our specialized settings include the Ladder, Hope School, Compass, and Community of Care Programs. The
Hope School Program
serves clients who experience emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges and various learning difficulties.
Diagnoses Included in the Hope School Program:
- Oppositional Defiant Disorder
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder
- High Functioning Autism
- Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder
- Sensory Processing Challenges
- Learning Delays
- Dyscalculia
- Dysgraphia
- Dyslexia
Our unique educational model utilizes the most current innovations in neuro-enhancement techniques while creating a supportive, nurturing environment. Our multidimensional program focuses on strengthening identity, inspiring independent function and self-regulation, increasing intrinsic motivation, and supporting positive group interactions through individualized curricula. We welcome clients from various educational and rehabilitative settings to the Hope School Program as an ideal environment for successful learning and growth.
The Interpersonal Whole-Brain Model of Care™ uniquely addresses the core issues of emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. Through 25 years of experience working with and evaluating individuals experiencing these challenges, we recognize that the brain’s patterns of under- and over-communication can lead to the core issues of the challenges at hand. Often, these patterns occur in areas of the Limbic system responsible for self-modulation, fight or flight response, and homeostatic regulation. In turn, the Limbic system struggles to communicate with the Frontal Association Cortex - the part of the brain responsible for making inferences of other people’s social cues, modulation of outward emotional expression, empathy, consequences of actions, and planning goal-directed behavior. Taking an intentional, all-encompassing, and brain-based approach to examine and execute a targeted action plan for clients navigating these difficulties is the mission of the Jacob’s Ladder IWBMC™ and, more specifically, the
Hope School Program
.
How We Support Clients in the Hope School Program:
- Individual program design targeting the neurobiological framework for each client

- Frequent engagement in cardiovascular and cross-lateral movements to promote new neuronal growth and communication within the brain
- Pre-teaching of all expectations during neutral moments
- Developing the mind-body connection to maintain self-regulation abilities
