In my previous role, I encountered a client who exhibited aggressive behaviors towards peers. I utilized a combination of positive reinforcement and systematic desensitization techniques. By gradually exposing the client to the triggers in a controlled environment and rewarding calm behavior, we were able to significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of the aggressive episodes. This approach not only improved the client's social interactions but also enhanced their overall well-being.

I prioritize tasks based on the immediacy of the client's needs and the severity of their behaviors. I maintain a detailed schedule that includes each client's therapy sessions, goals, and any specific interventions required. By regularly reviewing and updating this schedule, I ensure that critical needs are addressed promptly while also balancing the needs of all clients. This systematic approach helps me provide effective and timely support to each individual.

For clients with limited verbal skills, I employ a variety of non-verbal communication strategies such as visual aids, sign language, and augmentative communication devices. I also focus on building rapport through consistent eye contact, gentle touch, and mirroring their body language. These techniques help me understand their needs and preferences better, facilitating more effective communication and fostering a stronger therapeutic relationship.

In such situations, my priority is to ensure the safety of the client and those around them. I remain calm and use de-escalation techniques such as deep breathing, gentle physical prompts, and redirecting attention to a preferred activity. I also maintain clear and concise communication, reassuring the client that they are safe. Post-incident, I conduct a thorough analysis to identify potential triggers and adjust the intervention plan accordingly.

In my previous roles, I regularly collected data on client behaviors using systematic observation and recording methods. I analyzed this data to track progress, identify patterns, and adjust intervention strategies. For instance, I used frequency and duration data to evaluate the effectiveness of a new behavior plan. This analytical approach helped me make informed decisions and tailor interventions to achieve better outcomes for the clients.
