    • Utilize direct teaching to expand the Local Education Agency's (LEA) knowledge of best practice interventions for children, including but limited to, the implementation of interventions rooted in the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis
    • Partner with Regional Managers by reviewing all available historical and current regional data to understand regional needs and trends such as the identification of areas of high need within the region to create and implement regional plans to support assessment and interventions for young children
    • Assess referral trends, demographics, and cultural dynamics and employ a trauma-informed intervention approach, considering the impact of implicit bias on the therapeutic process, and make program recommendations that align with current research, tiered strategies of intervention, and best practices
    • Provide ongoing dynamic training and consultation in Applied Behavior Analysis, research-based strategies, integrated models of therapy, and other related areas as needed to build the capacity of early interventionists, broaden their understanding of current practices, and develop behavioral and developmental expertise of the LEA
    • Provide clinical supervision, consultation, guidance, and support to a wide array of ELS staff members, as needed, including, but not limited to, Multi-Disciplinary Evaluation Team members and Positive Behavior Support (PBS) Consultants to ensure continuity of care; DAP; and alignment with current research, tiered strategies of intervention, and application of best practices
    • Work collaboratively with IEP teams to make recommendations for least restrictive strategies and services, consistent with Positive Behavior Supports (PBS) regulation regarding behavior-related concerns
    • Conduct monthly clinical case reviews, direct support, and training across the Preschool Early Intervention system to identify and analyze referral and eligibility trends and provide ongoing feedback
    • Conduct cross-battery standardized assessments for identified children to determine eligibility and need for early intervention services, and conduct autism rating scales and assessments and Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), as needed
    • Utilize current research in the field to make sound intervention recommendations regarding evidence-based practices
