Isaac Erickson

As an ABA Therapist, I work with children with autism, Down syndrome, and other behavioral needs, providing individualized care and support. I assisted with feeding and guided children in achieving goals set by the behavioral analyst through structured trials, focusing on reducing challenging behaviors in both home and community settings. At the end of each day, I document progress and outcomes to ensure effective communication with the team. Additionally, I provided peri care as needed, fostering a supportive and nurturing environment for the children.

As a Behavioral Support Specialist, I provided care for a client with behavioral needs, facilitating outings to enhance social engagement and preparing meals to promote independence. I managed medication schedules and collaborated with a multidisciplinary team to implement effective behavioral interventions. My role included utilizing de-escalation techniques and physical holds when necessary, ensuring the safety of both the client and others. I also scheduled appointments and maintained open communication with the client to reinforce positive behaviors.

As a Caregiver, I provided essential support to clients with varying levels of independence, focusing on personal care tasks such as peri care, brief changing, and medication administration. I assisted clients with dementia, ensuring their needs were met while maintaining their dignity. Additionally, I scheduled appointments on their behalf and documented care notes to track progress. My role included meal assistance, fostering a comfortable and nurturing environment for clients.
