  • Implement evidence-based strategies including behavior modification, skill-building, and emotional regulation
  • Provide real-time coaching and modeling to caregivers to support generalization of skills
• 3. Documentation of Client’s Response to Treatment
  • Document client’s response to treatment using objective, measurable data
  • Complete notes in an accurate and timely manner
  • Communicate regularly with parents/guardians regarding progress in treatment
• 4. Care Coordination and Team Collaboration
  • Collaborate with treatment team members including clinicians, Blended Case Managers (BCM), psychiatric providers, and wellness nurses
  • Participate in weekly team meetings and clinical huddles
  • Coordinate with schools and other involved systems to ensure consistency of interventions across settings
• 5. Complete all Assigned Trainings by the Due Date to Stay Current with Practices and Guidelines
  • Complete at least 16 hours of Department-approved training annually related to job functions and in accordance with the individual training plan
• 6. Attend Weekly Individual and Group Supervision as Directed
  • One hour of face‑to‑face supervision per month
  • Thirty minutes of direct observation of services being provided every 6 months
• 7. Maintain Regular Communication with Clients, Families, School Personnel, and Treatment Teams
