Senior ABA/AVB Therapist Moving to Honolulu Oahu area (Jan 11 2003)

Hi,

My name is . I have been working as a lead therapist for the

past 8 years. I have worked independently and under consultation

with many knowledgeable people. I am highly capable of designing,

implementing for other staff, and running a verbal behavior program

but I am not a consultant. In my prior experience I found it

necessary to spend at least 10 hours a week with a child to properly

design and maintain a functional program. I can do this by only

taking 2-3 students at a time. Even though I have learned many thing

from others-one must work with the child to know the child and better

help the child. In my past programs I have taken the responsibility

to design and run the majority of the verbal programs, develop a

behavior management plan for maladaptive behaviors, and talk with

parents and other staff about bettering their individual techniques

in teaching children with Autism. I currently use the ABLLS skills

acquisition checklist, SRA's Direct Instruction materials, and the

book Work in Progress to develop the majority of my verbal and

academic programs. I am moving to Hawaii to finish my graduate work

in philosophy. Is it as beautiful as I think it will be? I love my

job very much and hope I can continue my work when I get to Oahu. Let

me know if I can help your program in any way. References and resume

available.

Peace and Hope
