Behavior Clinician II

The Clinician II will work to address the unique needs of individuals with developmental disabilities in our supported living programs. Individuals receiving services, which are provided in the home and community, are adults with often times multiple diagnoses and present with significant challenging behaviors. Many supported individuals have transitioned out of more restrictive settings, such as residential habilitation centers, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and diversion programs.
