• Model effective session techniques, explain ABA principles, and demonstrate accurate implementation of client programs.

• Use Behavioral Skills Training (BST) to teach staff through instruction, modeling, rehearsal, and constructive feedback.

• Create a welcoming, supportive learning environment and address coaching challenges professionally and compassionately.

• Collect accurate data on client and trainee performance, complete session notes, and assess staff consistency in implementing programs and recording data.

• Assist clinical and training supervisors with client and trainee assessments, communicate training progress, and help resolve barriers to success.

• Collaborate with families and clinical teams, provide daily parent updates, and participate in team meetings and clinical observations.

• Coordinate training session schedules and manage adjustments or cancellations.

• Provide client session coverage when training needs are limited and travel to assigned client homes or session locations.
