Application For The Post Of A Learning Disability Clinician At Hillingdon Camhs Initiative

Positive behaviour support (PBS) is an approach to providing services to individuals who exhibit challenging behaviour. Since the early 1990s, PBS has received increasing attention from the behaviour-analytic community. Some behaviour analysts have embraced this approach, but others have voiced questions and concerns. Over the past dozen years, an approach to delivery of behavioral services known as positive behavior support has emerged as a highly visible movement. Although PBS has been substantially influenced by applied behavior analysis, other factors are also part of its

Based on review of the documentation submitted, as of a treatment plan review dated 08/26/2016, the member was able to complete a goal regarding an acceptable amount of noncompliant incidents in a monthly period, and those demonstrated a substantial decrease of noncompliance for the months prior. She was responding positively to consistent limit setting and structure/routine but it was noted that she will engage in more compliance as she tests individuals should she perceive them as weak. She was described as an individual who has learned through negative reinforcement that refusal of a directive will gain additional attention. The documentation reports that through the use of simple behavior modification techniques, such as timeout and selective ignoring, the member appears to be learning that she will not get attention or be allowed to escape a

When evaluating a client you are wondering and determining the type of treatment or intervention you would like to introduce. As each client is different, what works for client A may not be effective with client B. In determining the type of intervention there should be a certain level of research along with the gained professional and educational knowledge obtained. While researching treatments there are bound to be a multitude of fad treatments. It is important to research and steer away from alternate treatments also known as AltTs. These treatments are those that attempt to mimic ABA interventions but are not scientifically found. There has been little or no research provided, they have no scientific data, or they may be unsupported. Very few if any have cohesive research studies on entire treatment packages. Using any of these treatments would be deemed unethical. That is why research is key. A lot of AltTs disguise themselves as ABA; when in fact ABA is a science and science is “the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.” ABA seeks to understand and alter behaviors by observation, study, and proven scientific techniques. Using such treatments could, potentially, do more harm than good. We must remember to respect our practice and bestow our best interest and maintain its

My life's journey is aspiring to further my education to become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) as well as acquiring the credentials for Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC). Upon achieving a master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling, I plan to apply my skills in a rehabilitation setting focusing on individuals with disabilities. My goal is to make an impact in the lives of many families and to empower these individuals to strive to their fullest potential. Furthermore, I find it gratifying helping individuals reach their goals and most importantly their dreams. I am currently working with the community and volunteering with the Autism Services Clinic at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV). Assisting children with special needs has been an exceptional

We are ambitious for positive outcomes for all children and young people in Haringey - having a motivated and high performing workforce will be fundamental to achieving this. We know that our children’s workforce already makes a huge difference to the lives of the families that we work with; therefore, we want to make even more of a positive impact in the future by

Throughout these last eight weeks I have learned to be a better listener and more compassionate. The relationships that have been formed between my client’s and I has been one of the most rewarding aspects

I am writing in regards of an internship at Marcus Autism Center. My passion has always been to help those in need; therefore, I am seeking a career in which I can exemplify that. At Marcus Autism Center where the goal is to maximize a child’s physical, social, and cognitive abilities, I believe I would benefit significantly from this internship opportunity.

ABA is a scientific process of examining what causes and maintains behaviour, in order to bring about positive change.

I feel that my experiences have enabled me to develop confidence and a skill set that will help prepare me for the demands I’m sure to face in this profession.

A Chinese Proverb once proclaimed, “A child's life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark.” Since my heart has always had a special place for children, I’m forever wanting to help them in any way I can. However, after babysitting teachers’ children after school when I was in elementary school, to helping teach a little girl we homeschooled a while back, I constantly wondered if I made a difference in the lives of children I came in contact with. Thinking back on several opportunities God has given me through packing Christmas stockings for foster children, working with first graders in Good News Club, and teaching special needs riders, I pray I have left marks on the lives of at least a few children.

As someone who experienced similar challenges growing up, it feels rewarding to aid these children and future leaders. Seeing the difference that personalized attention

I have also had experience working with some children with mental health diagnosis’. I spent two summers working at Greenland Point Center, a lower-income summer camp in Princeton. One male camper I worked with had autism, and one of my interactions with him was life-changing for me. He was highly distressed due to the changes

I feel that I have grown in my personal delivery of social services as I am more aware of the various micro, mezzo, and macro challenges and how they affects clients. I have been able to engage clients, assess their needs and seek out various resources. The concerns that I have is that I have only been able to practice casework in the areas of child welfare and from a school based higher education setting. I would have loved to have experiences in a medical setting because often times these areas intersect with each other.

I love working with children and I have previously worked as a teacher’s aide for five years. I worked in all the classrooms from ages two to five years old. I loved every aspect of my job as a teacher’s aide from the everyday, mundane tasks of “wiping hanabata noses” and changing diapers to the more rewarding moments of helping a child calm down and find comfort when their parent says good bye in the morning. My favorite part of working with children is watching them accomplish a new task for the first time. It is so rewarding watching a child grow and being a part of that process. Another goal of mine is to provide support to families in times of stress or hardship. I believe that because of my unique circumstances and my own hardships,
