I participated in a intensive evidence-based behavioral intervention program for children with ASD and ADHD. The program aimed to build social skills, positive relationships, and self-esteem. It provided structured, data-based, and individualized programs for each child. The intervention was based on using positive reinforcement to shape behavior, using the implementation of a point system which children earn points for appropriate behavior. It offered 150 hours of treatment in 5 weeks, roughly the equivalent of 2 years of clinic or school-based social skills training. Through this experience I was able to consult with clinicians to design and adapt individual treatment plans on a daily basis.
