What does a behavior intern do?

As a Behavior Intern, you can expect to support certified behavior analysts and other team members by assisting with behavior assessments, collecting and analyzing data, and implementing individualized intervention plans under supervision. Interns often work directly with clients, observe sessions, and participate in team meetings to discuss progress and strategies. The role provides valuable hands-on experience in applied behavior analysis and allows interns to develop professional communication and documentation skills. This exposure is essential for understanding the practical aspects of behavioral interventions and preparing for advanced roles in the field.

Experience with data collection tools, applied behavior analysis (ABA) software, and sometimes CPR or First Aid certification is beneficial.
