Play and Pokémon with a curious 9-year-old boy

Do you have experience with children with special needs, and can you create clear boundaries around play and activities? Then here is a task where relationship, structure and presence are in the center.

About the task

You will be support for a curious and creative 9-year-old boy who loves stories, audiobooks and imaginative play. Right now, Pokémon is a big interest, and he enjoys, among other things, going on Pokémon hunts and immersing himself in the universe. He also likes physical play and movement.

The boy has autism, ADHD, OCD and anxiety. He needs structure, clarity and predictability, and in social situations he requires guidance and support. He can be reluctant to accept demands, especially if demands are unclear or too many at once. Therefore it is important that you meet him calmly and patiently and help create manageable frames around your time together.

The task mainly consists of being together with the boy and starting from his interests. It can be through play, movement, stories or other activities that awaken his curiosity.

About you

You are unskilled (no formal education in the field) but have relevant experience with children with special needs. It is important that you have knowledge of autism, ADHD, OCD and anxiety and understand the importance of structure and clear communication.

You can work independently and make decisions during the time together. At the same time you have a patient approach and a desire to be active and participative in the play.

Working hours

Wednesday at 14:30–17:30.
