About the Organization

This mission-driven provider serves adults with developmental and mental health disabilities in residential and community program settings. Their programs emphasize community integration, life‑skill development, and independence. Staff collaborate across teams to build belonging, offer meaningful opportunities, and support adaptive living—guided by Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution‑Focused Therapy, and experiential learning

Core Programming Includes:

• Residential Adult Homes (ARFs / Enhanced Behavioral Support Homes—EBSHs)

• Community Integration Training and Day Program with vocational and recreational tasks (e.g. art, catering, cleaning, delivery, landscaping)

Role Overview

As the Behavior Management Consultant, you’ll offer high-impact behavioral consultation—not direct therapy. Supported by regional center funding, your contribution shapes behavior strategies across both residential and day programming.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA) and design Behavior Support Plans (BSPs)

• Train and support staff (BTs/RBTs) on data collection (frequency, duration) and intervention delivery

• Monitor and update behavioral plans in response to data trends

• Present behavioral findings and recommendations at quarterly/annual IPP meetings

• Document behavior consultations and reports; manage approximately 2 billable hours per client monthly

• Collaborate across residential homes (each with 4–6 residents, 1:1 staffing) and a day program serving ~50 participants

Focus Areas: Behavior reduction, crisis response, data-driven plan refinement. No skill-acquisition programming. This is about shaping staff implementation of behavioral protocols—integral to daily quality of life.
