One challenging case involved a child with severe behavioral outbursts. I implemented a structured behavior plan, focusing on positive reinforcement for desired behaviors and gradual fading of undesired ones. By collaborating with the family and closely monitoring progress, we were able to reduce outbursts by 60% within three months.

I maintain open, consistent communication through regular progress updates, parent training sessions, and daily logs. I encourage parents to share their observations and concerns, ensuring they feel involved and empowered to reinforce therapy goals at home.

I tailor motivation strategies to each child's interests, using preferred activities, tangible rewards, and social praise. For example, I might incorporate a child's love for superheroes into role-playing scenarios that reinforce learning objectives.

I first assess the cause of resistance, whether due to fatigue, lack of interest, or discomfort. I then adjust the session by incorporating breaks, changing activities, or using more engaging materials to re-engage the child.

I use systematic data collection methods, such as frequency counts and ABC data, to track behavior and progress. This data informs decision-making, helps identify patterns, and ensures interventions are effective and evidence-based.
