Surekha Chandramouli
Summary
I am a Special Educator and a Certified Behavior Technician, accredited by Applied Behavior Consultants Inc., California, USA, for demonstrated competence in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). My hands-on training in the fundamental principles of ABA has provided me with practical experience and skills in understanding, analyzing, and modifying behavior using evidence-based techniques. As a Behavior Technician, I bring a positive attitude that is crucial in supporting children with special needs. I have completed courses on learning disabilities such as dyslexia and dyscalculia, which have equipped me with methods and interventions to assist children struggling with reading and writing difficulties, further enhancing my expertise in the field. In addition to working with children in person, I am also proficient in teaching children virtually.
