When implementing individualized treatment plans, I focus on understanding each child's unique needs and preferences, which allows me to engage them effectively. By collaborating closely with the Board Certified Behavior Analysts, I ensure that I follow the prescribed strategies while also remaining adaptable in my approach, making real-time assessments as I work with the children.

In a previous role, I encountered a child who was non-responsive during sessions. I worked closely with my supervisor to develop alternative engagement strategies, like incorporating play-based activities that aligned with the child's interests. This adaptive approach not only built rapport but also fostered a more effective learning environment.

I believe in maintaining open and transparent communication with parents regarding their child's progress. Regular updates are essential; I share positive developments as well as areas requiring additional focus. I encourage parents to ask questions, and I provide them with actionable strategies to implement at home, ensuring a collaborative approach to the child's growth.

To keep children engaged during therapy, I incorporate fun and interactive activities that resonate with their interests. By varying the approach and integrating games, music, or visual aids, I maintain their attention while effectively delivering therapeutic content. It's all about making learning enjoyable and relevant!

Data collection is a crucial part of my responsibilities; I meticulously track each child's progress according to the treatment plan. I use clear, precise metrics to ensure that the information I gather can accurately reflect the child's development. This data not only helps in adjusting the intervention strategies as necessary but also provides essential insights during team discussions.

I view feedback as an opportunity for growth. I actively seek insights from supervisors and BCBAs, and I incorporate their suggestions into my work. If there are areas for improvement, I'm receptive and take actionable steps to enhance my skills and approach, knowing that this will ultimately benefit the children I work with.

The most rewarding aspect of being a Registered Behavior Technician is witnessing the progress and milestones achieved by the children I support. Each small victory, whether it’s a new skill learned or a breakthrough in communication, reminds me of the impact I make, and motivates me to continue striving for positive outcomes.

Safety is always a top priority during sessions. I remain vigilant, always anticipating the child's movements and adjusting the environment as needed to prevent accidents. Additionally, I regularly review safety protocols and engage families in discussions about safety practices, ensuring everyone is informed and prepared.

When conflicts arise, I believe in addressing them promptly and with empathy. I listen actively to understand concerns, ensuring families feel heard, and I collaborate with my team to find constructive solutions. Keeping communication open is pivotal, and I aim for transparency and honesty throughout the resolution process.

I want to work for Proud Moments ABA because I align with the organization's mission to provide life-changing treatment for children on the autism spectrum. The supportive environment, commitment to professional growth, and collaborative focus on success resonate with my values and goals. I am eager to contribute to a team that prioritizes impact and develops innovative therapeutic practices.
