  • Coaches and trains caregivers and individuals in a variety of areas, including progressive teaching, clinical rationales, data collection techniques, and ADLs.
  • Monitors data collection, ensures that data is totaled from multiple sources, and summarizes it on a weekly basis to analyze the data for effective use and compare it to assess for progress or significant changes.
  • Oversees/maintains the completion of all required paperwork, including daily and monthly progress reports, Person-Centered materials, Intakes, Phase summaries, Quarterly and Fiscal Year Summaries, and ensures that all pertinent information is included on anecdotals.
  • Provides the appropriate therapeutically documented level of an individual's supervision or safety plan to ensure and protect the individual's health/safety and well-being.
  • Meets for regular supervision with supervisors to discuss case updates and receive recommendations.
  • Participates in Team Rounds and leads discussions around assigned casework.
