Lansing | Okemos | Mason | Charlotte | Eaton Rapids

Build the tools other clinicians wish they had.

At most ABA companies, “clinical resources” means a shared drive of outdated templates nobody trusts. Here, you'd be the person shaping this system — building the protocols, curricula, and training materials that make every BCBA on our team sharper.

Sense Sational Learning Group is a BCBA-owned, neurodiversity-affirming ABA practice built on Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBI) and play-based, child-led care. We're growing a collaborative Sense Sational Learning Group Hub space in Okemos, MI — a physical space for community, mentorship, and social group programming beyond 1:1 sessions. We need a BCBA who's as energized by systems as they are by session work.

This is a hybrid clinical + innovation position.

We lead with empathy. Families come first. We believe happy, supported clinicians provide the best care. We won't burn you out with impossible caseloads or rigid protocols. Your creativity and clinical judgment are valued here.

• Manageable, transparent caseloads — 25 billable hours/week, with role‑specific responsibilities layered in deliberately over your first ~6 months (not day one)

• Flexible scheduling — full‑time and part‑time options available

• Family‑friendly culture (many of us are parents ourselves)

• Complimentary CEUs

• Technology that works for you: intuitive, in‑house platforms for scheduling, BIP writing, and time entry

• Continuous mentorship and professional development support

• Autonomy to tailor interventions to each client’s needs

• Competitive benefits:
  Medical, Dental, Vision, 401(k), PTO, and mileage reimbursement

• Access to our collaborative Hub for team connection, meetings, and cross‑role programming

• Carry a caseload of 25 billable hours/week, providing NDBI‑based services across home, school, and community settings (caseload expectations ease as your development work ramps up over your first ~6 months)

• Design and refine clinical protocols, assessment tools, and program resources used company‑wide

• Build training materials and structured pathways for BCBA and RBT clinical growth

• Mentor and supervise individuals pursuing their BCBA/BCaBA credential, including supervised fieldwork hours

• Partner with leadership to identify gaps in clinical resources and pilot solutions

• Stay current on NDBI research and translate it into usable, practice‑ready tools for the team

• Required: BCBA or BCaBA certification in good standing with the BACB

• Required: Michigan state licensure

• Required: Master's degree in ABA, Psychology, Education, or related field

• A track record (or strong itch) for building things — curricula, training systems, protocols — not just following them

• Genuine interest in mentoring newer clinicians and BCBA/BCaBA candidates

• Strong foundation in NDBI and natural environment teaching

• Comfort holding both clinical caseload work and behind‑the‑scenes development work in the same week

Compensation: $85,000–$90,000/year (BCBA). BCaBA positions available in accordance with state guidelines; compensation differs from BCBA rates.
