I have been working with Inizio Interventions for nearly 6 years and currently serve as a Regional Clinical Director. I oversee the San Fernando Valley, which includes Northridge, Tarzana, Canoga Park, as well as parts of Burbank and Glendale. I began as a clinical supervisor where I trained behavior interventionists and mentored them to become certified registered behavior technicians (RBTs) to work with children ages 3 to 17 in both the home and school settings using applied behavior analytic (ABA) therapy. I also conducted functional behavior assessments as well as designed, implemented, and evaluated instructional and environmental modifications to produce socially significant improvements in the child’s behavior.
As a Regional Clinical Director, I now have a team of four BCBA clinical supervisors. I oversee their caseloads and conduct regular field visits to the homes of our clients to ensure quality services. I also interview prospective RBTs and supervisors, provide ongoing training, and mentor Inizio’s clinical supervisors and BCBA interns. Some of my favorite things about working for Inizio are the company’s continuous but responsible growth, management’s availability and responsiveness to staff suggestions, but mostly that Inizio prides itself in providing quality (over quantity) services to the clients it serves.
