Position Responsibilities:

• Conduct initial and yearly comprehensive assessments (e.g., ABLLS-R, VB-MAPP, ABAS-3, caregiver interviews, behavior observations) with support from RBTs.
• Provide direct treatment as needed.
• Provide frequent supervision and direction to supervisees.
• Complete effective and prompt documentation for daily notes, assessments, individual treatment plans, and weekly progress updates.
