I currently work with three different children from the same family during the after -school hours. Being that the children are of different ages and have different needs I practice varying skills such as behavior training, social skills lessons, personal care education, homework completion, and interpersonal practice. I have gained a lot of knowledge and practical strategies from the BCBA supervisor who has taught me various useful techniques. Techniques that I implement include positive reenforcement and feedback, sensory activities, behavior reduction, interpersonal engagement, roleplaying, relaxation, and de-escalation. I am very involved in the family dynamics and help family members develop effective communication and appropriate interaction. Consistently assess goals and alter tasks to age appropriate developmental goals.
