  • Attend CSE meetings, IEP reviews, and transition meetings for Bridge students as appropriate
  • Respond to behavioral crises using CPI-consistent de-escalation and safety procedures
  • Conduct a formal monthly check-in with each direct-caseload family and manage day-to-day parent communication
