Strong communication skills to provide effective training, consultation, and leadership.
Core Responsibilities:
Conduct behavioral assessments and develop tailored intervention and crisis plans. Lead and mentor a large team—including RBTs, paraprofessionals, and teachers. Provide hands-on training for staff working with older students exhibiting extreme behaviors. Support functional understanding of challenging behaviors to promote safety and learning. Coordinate with district and cooperative partners to implement a cohesive approach. Focus on behavioral supports while academic instruction is managed by other specialists.
