Case Supervisors
TLC's
Supervisors have a minimum of five years of supervised work experience
and either possesses or are pursuing a Master's Degree in Special
Education, Applied Behavior Analysis or a related field. TLC's Case
Supervisors regularly work with each child to ascertain levels of
functioning and to make direct assessments of the child's rates of
acquisition and progress. The Case Supervisor is responsible for
designing the specific goals and teaching procedures, evaluates the
student's progress on a weekly basis, providing parent training and
instituting new goals when appropriate. The Case Supervisor also
coordinates services between related service providers and conducts
school observations, training and makes modification recommendations.
Ensuring that all Case Supervisors work directly with the children
provides necessary quality control measures that provide objective
feedback regarding the child behaviors and skills obtained. An
additional benefit is that this direct contact helps to identify
deficit areas that go beyond the training and level of expertise of
TLC's Behavioral Therapists and Senior Behavioral Therapists. The Case
Supervisors are responsible for monitoring the therapists who provide
direct ABA therapy to TLC clients. The Case Supervisor additionally
evaluates case therapists on a quarterly basis so that TLC is able to
provide them with additional training to sharpen their knowledge base
and build their competency across skill areas.
