Community Autism Services

School Psychologist | Aurora, CO

At Community Autism Services, we know that great outcomes for students start with great support for clinicians. You won't be handed a caseload and left to figure it out - you'll have BCBAs, clinical leadership, and a collaborative team behind you every step of the way. We build environments where school psychologists thrive, and where your evaluations, consultation, and direct support have a measurable, lasting impact on students' lives.

• Embedded BCBA and clinical leadership support and collaborative consultation on every caseload
• A culture that prioritizes data-driven decision-making without losing the human element
• Real investment in your professional development — assessment, crisis intervention, bilingual assessment, and more
• Meaningful, stable work in Aurora's growing school-based programs
• A leadership team that has worked in the field and genuinely gets it

The School Psychologist is central to how CAS understands and supports every student on a caseload. You'll conduct comprehensive psycho educational evaluations, determine eligibility, and guide IEP teams toward decisions that are not just compliant - but meaningful. You'll partner closely with SPED teachers, BCBAs, families, and multidisciplinary teams across a range of needs - from students on the autism spectrum to students with affective/emotional needs and those served through CoAlt/SSN programs.

Caseloads span Aurora's school-based programs at both the elementary and secondary level. We'll work with you to build an assignment that matches your experience and strengths.
