Gemma Campbell
Junior Behavioural Therapist | Positive Behaviour Support & Early Intervention
Crestview Child Development Services
Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in the Behavioural Therapist position at Crestview Child Development Services. With a foundational background in psychological science, graduate training in applied behaviour analysis, and hands-on clinical experience supporting paediatric clients across clinic and home settings, I welcome the opportunity to contribute to your early intervention and positive behaviour support programs.
In my current role at Koorie Way Early Intervention Centre, I deliver one-on-one positive behaviour support and early intensive behavioural intervention for paediatric clients aged 3 to 10 with autism spectrum disorder. Working under Board Certified Behaviour Analyst supervision, I implement individualized behaviour support plans focused on functional communication, social play, and daily living skills. Furthermore, I consistently record real-time session data using Catalyst software to track target behaviours and skill acquisition while collaborating with speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and families to support skill generalization across environments.
My clinical practice is underpinned by structured academic and practical training completed during my Graduate Diploma in Psychology at Monash University, where I accrued 240 supervised practicum hours supporting paediatric clients with developmental delays. In an applied project evaluating visual schedule transition protocols, I designed and trialled low-tech Picture Exchange Communication System visual schedules for four early intervention clients, recording a 35% decrease in transition-related task avoidance over an eight-week baseline-to-intervention tracking period.
I am keen to bring my dedication to positive behaviour support, meticulous data collection, and multidisciplinary collaboration to Crestview Child Development Services. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my experience aligns with your team.
Sincerely,
Gemma Campbell
