Board Certified Behavior Analyst; BCBA - PA

CHOP-Soar Autism Center is building a network of interdisciplinary clinics where children with autism and their families receive life-shaping services that support them to thrive, with centers in both Denver and Phoenix metro areas. We will be expanding to the Philadelphia metro area in late 2025 and are looking for excellent founding team members to join us!

We prioritize early intervention, comprehensive supportive services, and positive, developmentally appropriate learning that meets the needs of each unique child and family. Our care model integrates multiple disciplines, including ABA, speech, occupational therapy, and mental health services, with a focus on the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM)—a play-based form of ABA therapy.
