As an intern, I observed and assisted employees in utilizing Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) interventions in the French language with children with autism in a community-based setting. This population consisted of mostly nonverbal 5-10 year olds. I supported clients in developing academic and independent living skills. Through this experience, I improved my French language skills and cross-cultural competency by living and working full-time abroad.
