Community Support Worker and Behavior Support Practitioner delivering evidence-based ABA support for neurodivergent individuals.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Community Support Worker and Behaviour Support Practitioner, supporting neurodivergent and special-needs individuals through evidence-based interventions. I’ve delivered both group and 1:1 behavioural support in collaboration with RBAs/BCBA-led treatment plans, with a strong focus on structured routines, communication development, and consistent progress tracking.
Since May 2023, I’ve designed and implemented individualized support strategies using reinforcement systems, visual schedules, and adaptive communication tools like Proloquo2Go, Choice Works, and Google Calendar. I’m deliberate about professional accountability—collecting, recording, and analyzing behavioural data, completing session documentation, and maintaining ethical invoicing.
In my most recent roles, I’ve implemented ABA-based interventions including prompting hierarchies, shaping procedures, and reinforcement systems to strengthen adaptive behaviours and reduce maladaptive responses. I also support emotional regulation and transitions, facilitate daily living and community participation, and collaborate with families and supervising clinicians to ensure treatment integrity across environments.
Beyond direct care, I’ve coordinated inclusive community programs for neurodivergent youth, applied proactive behaviour strategies and de-escalation protocols, and helped run inclusive summer camps. I bring a service-oriented, dignity-first approach—advocating for equitable participation, safety, and meaningful engagement while continuously improving outcomes with data and reflection.
