Other Medical Or Therapeutic Specialists
Host families come to us to find the best care for their family – in fact, we have received several prestigious awards in the USA and internationally for the quality of our care. Approximately 80% of our host families have children with special needs (including autism, learning disabilities, genetic or neurological disabilities, and developmental delays) providing ample opportunity to put your career experience into practice. This is why Apex Social is a great fit for medical and therapeutic specialists to use their experience as part of the Apex Social program.
