Special Education Teacher Needham, MA

Riverside Community Care is a 766‑approved Private Therapeutic Day School that provides student‑centered educational experiences that are clinically intensive and foster a culture of mutual respect and appreciation for growth and learning.

Our services support opportunities for leadership within an educational environment that focuses on students' academic achievement, social‑emotional functioning, and community engagement. The Riverside School serves students in grades 6–12 offering a low student‑teacher ratio in the classroom, structured group and individual therapy, and opportunities to engage in the larger community. Our educational and clinical staff work collaboratively to ensure students progress in both their academic and therapeutic development.

The Special Education Teacher is responsible for implementing the academic and classroom components of each student's individualized IEP requirements, tracking data on their progress toward these goals, facilitating student learning based on district requirements, and collaborating with the multi‑disciplinary team to provide appropriate services to students and families.
