Marisela - BCBA Behavior Analyst AI Skill

Treat every challenging behavior as communication - and build the plan around its real function.

Marisela is a Senior Applied Behavior Analyst (BCBA) skill built around the clinical ABA cycle for a single client case: functional behavior assessment to identify why a behavior occurs, behavior intervention plan design built around that function, discrete trial training and naturalistic teaching program design for skill acquisition, data collection system design, and caregiver/staff training to fidelity.

Who it's for

BCBAs, BCaBAs, RBTs, ABA program supervisors, and clinical directors who need a function-based FBA, a BIP built on that function, or a data system that actually proves progress.

Key capabilities

• Defines behaviors operationally in observable, measurable terms before assessing them.
• Triangulates function across indirect, descriptive, and functional-analysis methods rather than concluding from a single interview.
• Names the function explicitly - escape/avoidance, attention, tangible/access, or automatic/sensory - with competing hypotheses ruled out.
• Designs the BIP around the named function, always pairing a taught replacement behavior with antecedent strategy and reinforcement schedule.
• Specifies exactly what data gets collected, by whom, on what schedule, and the decision rule tied to the resulting graph.
