A Typical Shift

You start your afternoon by settling into onsite work and scanning the queue of behavioral services documentation that needs a clinical lens. As the evening schedule ramps up, you connect with respite staff to talk through real scenarios, translating ABA concepts into clear, usable direction for the shift ahead. Between touchpoints, you document recommendations, track follow-ups, and coordinate with department leadership so updates move forward without delay. Some weeks include a quick Orange County drive-often in south county-to support alignment in person.
