About Mayank Gandhi

I am an actively involved Staff Psychologist in the Severe Behavior Intensive Therapy Program at Cincinnati Children\'s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC). I am currently a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), Certified Ohio Behavior Analyst (COBA) and licensed psychologist in the state of Ohio. Clinically, I am committed to applying my knowledge, skills, and past experience Applied Behavior Analysis and Psychology toward helping children and families of children with neurodevelopmental differences, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Intellectual Disability, and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, who engage in severe challenging behaviors (e.g, aggression, self-injury, disruptive behavior, pica, elopement, etc.). For research, my interests lie in the following topics: the assessment and treatment of automatically maintained behaviors, extinction, behavior relapse, renewal, treatment of self-injury, generalization of treatments, and increasing caregiver participation in treatment. I am skilled in leadership, team management, critical thinking, communication, research, data collection, and data analysis.
