- Monitor client progress toward treatment goals and adjust plans as needed to improve outcomes.
- Ensure consistent, accurate data collection for all target behaviors and treatment objectives.
- Analyze treatment data regularly to guide clinical decision-making and ensure effectiveness.
Provide ongoing training and support to families, caregivers, and relevant stakeholders in behavioral strategies.
Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including physicians, educators, and therapists, to support holistic care.
Communicate regularly with families to share updates, address behavioral challenges, and offer actionable recommendations.
What You'll Need
- Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, or a related field
- Current certification as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)
- Completion of BCBA supervision training
- Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA) in the state of New Jersey
