Behavior Technician Role and Responsibilities:

• Assist rehab staff in implementation of behavior protocols that are developed by the BCBA.
• Assist in novel data collection, making observations and documenting client behaviors and trends.
• Provide relevant corrective reinforcement and praise, for both clients and staff as appropriate. Feedback for staff would be specifically related to their implementation of Behavior Protocols.
• Model appropriate, professional, and compassionate behavior for both staff and clients.
• BTs would be involved in increasing the staff's engagement with the clients. They will assist management with:
• ensuring client engagement schedules are being followed including therapy attendance.
• conduct daily observations on engagement and provide immediate feedback/praise when necessary.
• teach and model staff when dealing with more difficult clients.
• assist in more specific community access goals and interact directly with clients in the community when they are resistant or are otherwise underperforming in meeting their goals.
• BTs would be responsible for responding to crisis situations during their shift and often responsible for managing and assessing the interventions of staff (e.g., QBS protocol).
• While BTs will primarily be working with BCBAs, they will also be expected to work well within the multidisciplinary team. They will also need to communicate and work collaboratively with the Residential Unit Coordinators, Residential Supervisors, Program Coordinators, and clinicians of various disciplines (e.g., Occupational Therapists, Psychotherapists, Speech Therapists, Recreation Therapists, Health Educators, Dietician, Physical Therapists, etc.) depending on the client's programming.
• BTs would work with clients on community transportation goals (e.g. cabbing, busing, and walking with them) and would help clients in developing their own social networks in the community. They would be available to provide pre-teaching, goal setting, and to provide feedback with the goal to significantly improve social skill sets and eventually increase their social networks outside of Eisenhower Center.
• They would input Incident Reports for their units. Estimated 8-10 hours per week would be spent on data entry.
• BTs would handle client incentives and assist in troubleshooting issues with incentive protocols.
• BTs would work varied hours, highlighting their presence during B-shifts and weekends. There are a mix of BT schedules as the idea is to have coverage on the campus so that a BT is available if needed to assist managing crisis situations or difficult client behaviors.
