Field Supervisor & Therapy Service Provider
-
Jan 2009 - Present
I was promoted to Field Supervisor after initially starting as a Therapy Service provider at an organization that provides early intervention and educational services to children from birth to age three with developmental/mental health and physical disabilities . I carried a caseload while managing, coaching, assessing, and aligning professional development opportunities to 15 educators, helping seven achieve promotions. Collaborated with families and external partner agencies to plan services. Some of my achievements include: ⇒ Met 80%-95% of goals on average for each family by individualizing solutions to the unique needs of each student. ⇒ Secured critical resources that state previously denied for 30% of families by leveraging influence, demonstrating knowledge of state regulations, laws and requirements, and providing advocacy to empower parents. ⇒ Advanced 95% of children to perform at age-appropriate levels within the child age-out date of receiving services by collaborating with cross-functional team of providers and analyzing data to create individualized service plans for children. ⇒ Increased agency profits, improved skills of children, reduced time to obtain services by three months, and locked in one- to two-year service authorizations by leveraging network to secure providers that could fill vacancies in services.
