Position Details

The Behavior Consultant, in collaboration with other members of the treatment team, designs and directs the implementation of a behavior modification intervention plan which is individualized to each child or adolescent and family needs. The Behavior Consultant identifies behavioral goals and intervention techniques and recommends non-aversive behavioral change methods. The Behavior Consultant typically serves as consultant too, and as requested by the Mobile Therapist within the treatment team. While maintaining some direct contact with child and family, the Behavior Consultant primarily provides assessment; program design and monitoring rather than direct therapy. The Behavior Consultant is expected to participate in team meetings.
