We are seeking a dedicated and experienced Behavioral Analyst to join our team and provide behavioral modification services to children and adults with disabilities residing in their home or group home settings. This position plays a crucial role in conducting functional behavioral assessments, functional analysis, learning adaptive skills assessments, and integrating assessment results into individualized teaching plans and behavioral support plans for each person.

1. Conduct Functional Behavioral Assessments and Functional Analyses:

   As a Behavioral Analyst, you will be responsible for conducting thorough functional behavioral assessments and functional analyses. This involves systematically evaluating an individual's behavior to identify the underlying functions, triggers, and consequences, providing a foundation for targeted intervention strategies.

This includes translating assessment findings into actionable plans that address specific behavioral goals and support the individual's learning and development needs. (It is essential to have proficiency in writing plans.)

4. Implement Behavioral Modification Strategies:

   Collaboration is essential. You will work closely with interdisciplinary teams and direct service providers to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated approach to behavioral intervention. This involves effective communication, sharing insights, and contributing to the overall care plan.

6. Regularly Assess and Adjust Intervention Plans Based on Progress:

   Ongoing assessment is critical. You will continually evaluate the effectiveness of intervention plans, making data-driven decisions to adjust strategies based on the individual's progress. This dynamic process ensures that interventions remain tailored to the individual's evolving needs.

7. Present Plan to LRC for Update or Initial Plan:

   As part of the collaborative process, you will present intervention plans to the LRC (Local Review Committee) for either initial approval or updates. This involves clear communication of assessment findings, proposed interventions, and progress monitoring data to ensure alignment with organizational standards and objectives.

Requirements:
