• Support therapists in responding to complex clinical presentations and behavioural challenges.
• Participate in collaborative problem-solving and treatment adjustments.
• Ensure intervention strategies are practical, individualized, and consistently implemented.

Family Collaboration & Caregiver Coaching

• Establish positive, professional relationships with clients and families.
• Conduct parent consultations, progress meetings, and caregiver training.
• Support generalization of skills across home, school, and community environments.
• Collaborate with families to identify meaningful priorities and develop achievable intervention goals.

• Participate in interdisciplinary case discussions, joint observations, and collaborative treatment planning.
• Support integration of communication, emotional regulation, executive functioning, social development, and independence goals into ABA programming.
• Contribute to a coordinated approach to client care across disciplines.
