Conduct Remote Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA): Utilize indirect (interviews, rating scales) and direct (analysis of video data) methods to determine the function of challenging behaviors and inform the development of a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP).
Monitor and Analyze Data: Guide families in systematic data collection and use this data to make informed decisions, track progress, and modify intervention plans to ensure effectiveness.
Adhere to Ethical and Professional Standards: Practice in strict accordance with the BACB's Ethics Code and the regulations of your UAE licensing authority.

Desirable Requirements:

Experience working with a diverse range of ages (early intervention, adolescents) and needs.

Flexibility & Autonomy: You have complete control over your working hours, client load, and professional methods.
