Working as a Registered Behavior Therapist, I had moved up to lead therapist, helping with managing the team of therapists, trained new hires, and oversaw client management. I monitored client progress using data collection systems, analyzed treatment effectiveness, and adjusted plans as needed. I facilitated parent training on effective home teaching techniques and fostered positive relationships. I assisted clients with daily living skills, conducted functional assessments, and helped develop individualized treatment plans. I provided crisis prevention services, instructed caregivers on intervention strategies, and coordinated care among providers. I developed tailored activities and educational materials, maintained accurate records, and participated in team meetings for case discussions. I taught communication skills using various methods and implemented evidence-based interventions, such as ABA and social skills training. I trained staff in behavioral strategies, communicated progress with families, and provided services across home, clinic, school, and community settings. I created visual supports, collaborated with multidisciplinary teams, conducted psychological evaluations, and maintained confidentiality. I stayed updated through workshops/education, developed new skills in clients, and collaborated with behavior analysts for treatment planning and maintenance. I tracked behaviors, designed interventions, directed therapy drills, interviewed clients, and responded to severe mental health issues.

I ensured safety protocols were strictly followed during therapy sessions and assisted in creating home programs for consistent skill application across settings. I collaborated with parents, teachers, and professionals to implement interventions effectively, provided necessary prompts and guidance, and observed student behavior to assess progress.

I participated in team meetings, maintained accurate session records, provided direct instruction to children with autism, and facilitated social skills groups. Additionally, I tracked student progress, monitored patient well-being, reported changes, and led individual and group therapy sessions.
