This individual will have a minimum of one year of clinical experience with children/adolescents and will provide observation, data collection, treatment recommendation, and review treatment plans for children/adolescents. This position will provide services on-site when requested and will be available for consultation with the school.

A Behavioral Consultant (BC) is available to travel to the school or community. Each Mobile Therapist maintains a schedule of Children to be seen and address as emergency situations as requested.
