Hannah Walker

• Delivered individualized behavior-analytic instruction in a 6:1:2 self-contained CABAS classroom, aligning play-based instruction with verbal behavior protocols and developmental goals and IEP objectives.
• Systematically tracked academic and behavioral student progress using rigorous data collection methods and criterion-based curricular assessments (e.g., ELCAR), facilitating strategic, data-driven curriculum development targeting student-specific learning challenges.
• Conducted Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) and collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to design and monitor behavior intervention plans, ensuring interventions were matched to function and implemented with high procedural integrity.
• Developed training manuals, modeling videos, and teaching materials to effectively train graduate students and teaching assistants in evidence-based ABA strategies, protocol fidelity, curriculum development, and student progress monitoring.
• Facilitated weekly data review meetings to troubleshoot barriers to progress, and modify teaching protocols based on student learning trends, achieving class-wide gains in verbal behavior and independence.
• Used direct observation, data collection, and performance-based feedback (e.g., TPRA) to improve staff adherence to behavior support procedures, achieving 40% gains in instructional accuracy, fluency, and fidelity.
• Developed caregiver resources and offered regular parent training sessions to support generalization and consistency across settings.
• Worked collaboratively with interdisciplinary teams (e.g., SLPs, OTs) and families to align academic and behavioral goals and develop comprehensive treatment and IEP plans.
• Conducted single-case and group design research on verbal behavior and instructional interventions, contributing to peer-reviewed publications and national presentations.

• Graded assignments, proctored tests, and provided feedback according to university standards.
• Mentored students through office hours and one-on-one communication.

• Delivered individualized and small-group instruction using behavior analytic strategies and precision teaching aligned with IEP goals and district standards.
• Integrated educational technology (e.g., Kahoot!, Pear Deck) to increase learner engagement and promote fluency in core academic skills.
• Applied reinforcement systems and group contingencies to improve on-task behavior, reduce disruptive behavior, and foster independent learning skills.
• Analyzed academic benchmarks and behavioral data to adapt instruction and collaboratively develop intervention strategies with lead teachers and specialists.

• Delivered individualized, ABA-based instruction targeting communication, social, and adaptive skills in 6:1:2 and 12:1:2 CABAS preschool classrooms.
• Collected continuous data on target behaviors and skill acquisition programs, contributing to treatment adjustments and progress tracking.
• Collaborated with supervisors and lead teachers to maintain procedural integrity and ensure consistent delivery of verbal behavior protocols across daily routines.
• Participated in ongoing supervision and training in discrete trial teaching (DTT), research-based developmental protocols, personalized system of instruction (PSI), and task analysis.

• Coordinated recruitment and conducted diagnostic and developmental assessments (e.g., caregiver reports, cognitive/language batteries) for clinical trials and phenotyping studies focused on ASD and rare genetic syndromes.
• Developed and managed REDCap databases to collect and organize longitudinal data, assessments, and compliance documentation.
• Collaborated with psychologists, psychiatrists, and neurologists to translate research findings into tailored clinical recommendations and individualized supports.
• Co-authored peer-reviewed manuscripts and presented research at national and international conferences on autism, neurodevelopment, and behavior analysis.

Supported autonomy and functional living skills in a young adult with ASD through person-centered routines and visual schedules.

• Applied proactive behavior strategies and emotion regulation supports to reduce challenging behavior and enhance daily self-regulation.

• Delivered 1:1 ABA therapy in home and clinic settings following individualized treatment plans developed by BCBAs.
• Collaborated with families to support generalization of skills, reinforce behavior strategies at home, and ensure consistency across settings.

• Administered standardized neuropsychological assessments (e.g., WPPSI, WISC, NEPSY) to children aged 18 months to 18 years under supervision of licensed neuropsychologists.
• Interpreted test results with interdisciplinary teams to inform differential diagnoses and tailored treatment planning.
• Maintained HIPAA-compliant documentation and contributed to comprehensive clinical reports.
