During my undergrad at BU, I was onboarded as a CARE intern for the TESLA project and transferred to the POLO-R project where I worked on remote oral motor assessments of minimally verbal children with autism. After graduating from BU, I was a behavioral technician at an ABA center for 2 years. As a behavioral technician, I provided early intervention behavioral therapy to reduce maladaptive behaviors and increase skill acquisition in young children with autism.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I am delighted to return to CARE as a research technician on the POLO project, which focuses on predicting and optimizing language outcomes in minimally verbal children with autism.
