- Model and train best-practice ABA procedures, including prompting, reinforcement, data collection, and behavior-reduction strategies.
- Analyze client data regularly, identify trends, create data-driven updates, and ensure meaningful progress toward goals.
- Deliver structured parent/caregiver training to promote generalization, support family confidence, and improve outcomes across environments.
- Collaborate with families, school teams, and multidisciplinary providers to ensure continuity of care and reinforcement of therapeutic objectives.
- Maintain accurate, timely clinical documentation in alignment with BACB standards, Medicaid/insurance requirements, and internal policies.
- Participate actively in team meetings, clinical case reviews, and professional development, contributing to a culture of learning and excellence.
- Support a positive, inclusive, and growth-oriented team environment, modeling professionalism, empathy, and mission-driven work.
