Jennifer

Behavioural Therapist

Jennifer

My name is Jennifer McConnell, I have been working for rainbow as an ABA therapist for 2 and a half years.

After completing my psychology degree, I was keen to find a career that enabled me to help others and make a difference in people’s lives. I decided to do my master’s in applied Behaviour Analysis after being introduced it in my undergraduate studies 

Previously I have worked as a support worker in Northern Ireland with adults with learning disabilities. This taught me about the importance of building a good relationship with individuals and making sure that the individual benefits from the support to enable them to be more independent. I also did a placement year in Boston as part of my master’s where I worked at a residential school as a graduate intern. I learned a lot about carrying out programs, taking data to assess progress and also allowed me to work with a range of different behaviours.

While working in Boston I received guidance from a supervisor for my BCBA certification. Currently while working for rainbow, I continue to collect hours and will soon be sitting my exam. Receiving supervision from rainbow has been really beneficial in allowing me to be confident in my role. Throughout any of the programs I have been on during my time at Rainbow I have always felt very supported, and I feel that this has helped me to become a well-equipped therapist that can effectively work with clients to meet their targets and needs. 

I am a friendly and approachable person who really enjoys my role working with children and their parents to help create a positive impact in the child’s life. Through my time working I have gained good communication skills, the ability to work in a team with different professionals.

Reflection

I enjoy working for Rainbow as it is such a rewarding job working 1:1 with clients and seeing their progress. We are a team of professionals who all care deeply about providing compassionate care to clients and supporting their families. I am proud to carry out the work we do every day to make a difference and I’m excited to see what comes working for this amazing company.
