  • Maintain an environment conducive to therapy ensuring the play spaces are tidy, organized, and conducive to a stimulating and enjoyable experience for the children.
  • Multitask to balance multiple actions, decisions, or conversations in the moment while assessing prioritization and safety for all parties.
