I design and implement assessments, both for skills and for challenging behaviours that present barriers to my clients' lives. Using assessment results, I create teaching protocols for front-line therapists (i.e., Registered Behavior Technicians and ABA therapists) to implement. I train and supervise ABA therapists while monitoring program data. When needed, I revise teaching protocols to be more effective.Communication with families and other community stakeholders (such as teachers) is another important part of our services. We collaborate on goals and teaching methods, and plan for how to generalize skills from in-centre to in-home and other community locations. Parent training is also provided outside of comprehensive ABA services when appropriate. Show less

I will assume the position of that client's behaviour therapist and fulfill all the responsibilities associated with that position (see previous Behavior Therapist entry). I train new therapists to implement treatment and I work with clinical staff members to create and maintain effective systems within the organization.
