Position Summary

Most BCBA roles ask you to balance caseload size, clinical quality, and paperwork — and something usually gives. This role is built differently. You'll lead ABA therapy for a defined group of clients, designing individualized treatment plans, running functional behavior assessments, and guiding the technicians who deliver direct services day to day. Parents and caregivers see real change because the programming actually matches their child, and because you have the time, tools, and team to support it.

Daily Responsibilities

• Guide and supervise Behavior Technicians (BTs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) in delivering excellent ABA services.
• Develop and lead personalized treatment plans built around each client's individual needs — never generic templates.

• Reinforce a culture grounded in ethics and outcomes rather than direct‑service‑hour targets.
• Carry out functional behavior assessments and modify programming based on data and professional judgment.
• Offer impactful parent coaching and family training to sustain progress between therapy sessions.
• Comply with all BACB ethical standards, state regulations, and payer‑specific requirements.

Required Credentials

• Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, Education, or a comparable area of study (for BCBA holders).
• Valid BCBA or BCaBA certification with the BACB (or valid RBT certification combined with ongoing graduate coursework pointing toward BCBA certification).
• Eligible to pass a background screening covering criminal background and driving record.
• Strong familiarity with BACB ethical rules and the applicable state and payer guidelines.

Preferred Experience

• Track record of creating parent and caregiver training programs.
• Clear written and verbal communication capabilities for working with families and documenting treatment.
• History of supervising behavior technicians or RBTs in a center‑style ABA environment.
• Desire to take part in applied research or share findings at professional conferences.
