Developmental Specialists & Direct Staff

Our many Developmental Specialists and Direct Staff have diverse educational backgrounds and goals. They are typically graduate or undergraduate students in speech pathology, psychology, special education, or occupational therapy.

All staff must successfully complete CLC’s ABA training including lecture/workshop, hands-on training, and clinical practicums, and are cleared as behavioral intervention instructors through the Department of Education before being assigned to any cases.

Developmental Specialists/Direct Staff work under the direct supervision of Behavior Analysts/Specialists, as well as work in collaboration with Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists and Physical Therapists as part of interdisciplinary teams. Additionally, they receive ongoing training in the form of lecture/workshops and clinical practicums throughout their time at Children’s Learning Connection.
