Essential Functions

  • Conducts therapeutic sessions with patients using standard ABA procedures under the direction of a professional behavior analyst.
  • Assists with the development and implementation of skill-acquisition programs (e.g., self-feeding, chewing, increasing food acceptance) and behavior-reduction programs (e.g., extinction protocols, functional communication training).
  • Prepares initial drafts of session materials, progress notes, and session descriptions while reporting behavior in observable and measurable terms.
  • Enters clinical assessment and treatment data into spreadsheets, graphs the data, and performs initial analyses to present recommendations to the BCBA.
  • Delivers caregiver training and support to parents, school personnel, and other stakeholders to ensure programmatic consistency.
  • Manages the organization, cleanliness, and maintenance of clinical materials, equipment, and the department facility.
  • Supports clinical faculty and behavior analysts with ongoing research activities, data collection protocols, and staff training.
