Summary
I am a dedicated believer of behavior intervention. Over 15 years working with students with special needs, I developed rich experiences coordinating different professionals in the IEP team, assessing student's needs and communicating among parents, school and IEP team professionals. I had led a team of up to 11 behavioral service providers and serviced over 50 caseload in one school year. I provided ongoing supervision and training to multiple RBT and educational assistants throughout school years. Handling pressure from parents' demands, lawyer and advocate's confrontation was a routine in my IEP meeting. I wish there will be a chance to meet you in the interview. Thank you for your consideration and time. I am looking forward to learn more details about the position.
