About the Role
Core Responsibilities of a Treehouse ABA Therapist
A therapist's primary responsibilities revolve around implementing the ABA therapy plans designed by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). They work directly with clients to foster skills in communication, social interaction, and self-care, while also managing challenging behaviors.
Core tasks include:
Applying ABA therapy techniques as directed by the supervising BCBA
Collecting data on client behavior and progress
Assisting in behavior assessment and intervention planning
Communicating effectively with clients, families, and team members
Maintaining confidentiality
Daily Tasks and Activities
The daily life of a therapist is structured around the therapy sessions scheduled with clients. A typical day may include:
Preparing materials for sessions
Conducting one-on-one therapy sessions
Collecting and recording data on client progress
Participating in team meetings and case reviews
Providing feedback to BCBAs and contributing to treatment plan adjustments
Engaging in activities to build rapport and trust with clients
