I have worked as a behavioral aide for two years, supporting children with autism and ADHD. I implemented individualized behavior intervention plans, used positive reinforcement techniques, and collaborated with families and therapists. My experience includes managing challenging behaviors, teaching social skills, and tracking progress. I am passionate about helping children develop coping strategies and achieve their goals.

In such situations, I remain calm and use de-escalation techniques, such as redirecting attention or offering choices. I follow the behavior intervention plan and prioritize safety. If needed, I seek support from supervisors or team members. My goal is to understand the root cause of the behavior and address it proactively while maintaining a supportive environment.

I ensure consistency by closely following the behavior plan, documenting observations, and communicating regularly with the team. I use clear, simple instructions and maintain a structured routine. I also provide consistent reinforcement for desired behaviors and adjust strategies as needed based on the child’s progress and feedback from supervisors.

I worked with a child who struggled with transitions between activities. By using visual schedules, timers, and positive reinforcement, I helped them gradually improve. Over time, the child began transitioning independently with minimal prompts. This success was achieved through patience, consistency, and collaboration with the child’s family and therapists.

I build rapport by being empathetic, patient, and respectful. I actively listen to families’ concerns and involve them in the process. With children, I use play-based activities and follow their interests to establish trust. Clear communication and a collaborative approach help create a positive and supportive relationship with both the child and their family.
