  Office coordinator

  Bright Behavior, Inc. is a family owned ABA company that specializes in early intervention direct one on one ABA therapy to children with an autism diagnosis.I began as an RBT providing direct therapy to children ranging from ages 2-9 and would work on problem solving in the moment what the function of the behavior was to provide an alternative behavior and allow the child the opportunity to engage in it and then provide reinforcement. I was then promoted to a Lead RBT position where my focus slightly adjusted from not just working with the children, but also provided training to new hires as well as continuing training to other therapist. I finally moved into the Office Coordinator position and was in charge of scheduling, interviews, and hiring based on center needs. I was able to support and provide our team of over 25 therapists with answers to any questions they had while creating a compassionate environment where others wouldn't feel judged for asking questions.
