Experience & Specialisation

As a behavioral therapist at Cadabam's CDC, Sudati works within the multidisciplinary team to implement structured behavioral programs for children. Her work includes conducting functional behavior assessments to understand why challenging behaviors occur, designing replacement behavior strategies, implementing ABA-based skill-building programs, and supporting parents with behavior management techniques for home and school settings.

She works closely with the clinical psychologist and other team members to ensure that behavioral interventions are coordinated with the child's broader therapy plan — including speech therapy, occupational therapy, and special education goals.

Therapeutic Approach

Sudati takes a child-centred, compassionate approach to behavioral therapy. She understands that challenging behavior is always communication — a child expressing a need they don't yet have the skills to express appropriately. Her interventions focus on teaching functional replacement skills while creating an environment that supports positive behavior, rather than simply suppressing difficult behavior.

Conditions Treated

Sudati works with children experiencing behavioral challenges related to autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, conduct disorder, oppositional behavior, emotional dysregulation, and social skills difficulties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a behavioral therapist do for a child with conduct disorder or oppositional behavior?

A behavioral therapist conducts a functional behavior assessment to understand why challenging behaviors occur — identifying the triggers, unmet needs, and environmental factors driving the behavior — then designs replacement behavior strategies that teach the child functional alternatives. Sudati focuses on building skills like emotional regulation, appropriate communication, and problem-solving rather than simply suppressing difficult behavior.

How does behavioral therapy differ for autism versus ADHD versus conduct disorder?

Each condition involves different behavioral patterns and underlying needs, so the intervention approach is tailored accordingly — ABA-based skill-building for autism focuses on communication and social interaction, ADHD interventions target impulse control and sustained attention, and conduct disorder work addresses emotional regulation and appropriate social behavior. At Cadabam's CDC, Sudati coordinates with the broader clinical team to ensure behavioral strategies account for any co-occurring conditions your child may have.

What should I expect during my child's behavioral therapy sessions?

Sessions involve structured one-on-one activities where Sudati works directly with your child on specific behavioral goals — such as practising calming techniques, role-playing social scenarios, or using reinforcement systems to build positive behavior patterns. Activities are designed to be engaging and age-appropriate while systematically teaching the child new ways to express needs, handle frustration, and interact with peers and adults.

How can parents manage challenging behaviors at home between sessions?

Sudati provides parents with specific behavior management techniques — including structured reinforcement strategies, consistent response plans for challenging behaviors, and environmental adjustments — to apply at home and school. Consistent application of these strategies between sessions is critical because erratic or inconsistent responses to challenging behavior can actually increase its frequency, while predictable, structured responses help the child internalise new behavioral patterns.

How is progress measured in behavioral therapy?

Progress is tracked through systematic data collection on the frequency, intensity, and duration of target behaviors, combined with regular parent and teacher feedback about behavioral changes across settings. Sudati reviews this data with the multidisciplinary team at Cadabam's CDC to adjust intervention strategies and set new goals, ensuring the therapy plan evolves as the child develops stronger self-regulation and social skills.
