She has also done behavioral observations for Dr. Delshadi in the school setting to appropriately diagnose children for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Melanie also enjoyed her three-year time as an ABA behavioral interventionist. She provided one on one ABA intervention techniques to children ages two years old up to twenty-one years old diagnosed with Autism and related disorders. Interventions occurred in the client’s homes, schools, the community, the Special Olympics, summer camps, and regular social groups in the office. She received ongoing training in the field and regular supervision in each client’s programs using multiple techniques such as Discrete Trial Teaching.  Melanie thoroughly enjoyed working with these children who ranged from high functioning to severely disabled in communication, motor, and vision. She is happy to provide her skills at AKA and continue to learn and grow. At AKA, Melaine will be supervised by Dr. Albert Knapp.
