I am part of the RTII process, in that I conduct pre-screening and follow up testing for Kindergarteners as well as participate in regular meetings and analyze student performance data. I produce Functional Behavior Assessments and Positive Behavioral Support Plans for any referrals made, and I support the ongoing progress monitoring of students with existing behavioral plans. I also support Supplemental Learning Support classrooms by scheduling related service blocks and community based instruction trips. I thoroughly enjoy developing a therapeutic alliance with students.
