I have extensive experience developing and implementing BIPs tailored to individual client needs. My approach involves conducting thorough functional behavior assessments (FBAs) to identify triggers and functions of behaviors. I collaborate with families, caregivers, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure plans are practical and effective. I also monitor progress through data collection and analysis, making adjustments as needed to achieve optimal outcomes. My goal is to create sustainable, evidence-based interventions that promote positive behavior change and improve quality of life for clients.

I prioritize adherence to the BACB Professional and Ethical Compliance Code by staying updated on guidelines and participating in ongoing training. I ensure my team follows ethical practices through regular supervision, clear communication, and structured protocols. I also emphasize informed consent, confidentiality, and client dignity in all interactions. By fostering a culture of accountability and continuous learning, I maintain high ethical standards while delivering effective, client-centered care.

When addressing challenging behaviors, I focus on proactive strategies such as antecedent interventions and teaching replacement behaviors. I use de-escalation techniques like maintaining a calm demeanor, providing clear instructions, and ensuring a safe environment. I also train staff to recognize early signs of escalation and respond appropriately. My goal is to minimize the use of restrictive practices and prioritize client safety and dignity while addressing the root causes of behaviors.

I believe in a hands-on, collaborative approach to training and supervision. I provide clear expectations, regular feedback, and ongoing professional development opportunities. I use modeling, role-playing, and direct observation to ensure staff understand and implement ABA principles effectively. I also encourage open communication and problem-solving to address challenges. By fostering a supportive and growth-oriented environment, I empower my team to deliver high-quality, consistent care.

I measure success through data-driven methods, tracking client progress using objective metrics such as frequency, duration, and intensity of behaviors. I also consider qualitative feedback from families and caregivers. If progress stalls, I reassess the intervention plan, conduct additional assessments, and modify strategies as needed. Collaboration with the team and stakeholders ensures that interventions remain aligned with client goals and evolving needs.
