- Track and record precise behavioral data using clinical software to measure target behaviors and intervention efficacy.
- Participate actively in treatment planning by identifying patient strengths and behaviors, suggesting modifications, and providing critical input for discharge routing.
- Assist Mental Health Technicians (MHTs) and floor staff using the Behavior Skills Training approach to ensure consistent plan execution.
- Encourage and facilitate patients' participation in therapeutic activities.
- Orient new patients to unit, program, and setting.
- Assist patients in carrying out activities of daily living, when congruent with the patients' treatment plan and needs, age, and developmental level.
- Maintain a safe, orderly, and therapeutic physical environment for patients.
- Active Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) credential from the BACB required.
- High school diploma or equivalent required.
- Minimum of one (1) year of experience working with individuals with developmental, intellectual, or acute behavioral disorders is highly preferred.
