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.
