Use Your Behavioral Expertise to Make a Difference!

Are you a behavioral professional who is passionate about helping individuals with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities build skills, increase independence, and experience greater success in their everyday lives?

We are seeking a qualified Behavior Specialist Consultant (BSC) to work directly with a family supporting a young adult with autism.

This is initially a part-time opportunity with the potential to grow into a full-time position as additional opportunities become available.

You will have the opportunity to use your professional knowledge and behavioral expertise to develop practical, individualized strategies that make a meaningful difference in someone's life.

The ideal candidate enjoys working collaboratively with families and direct support professionals, understands the importance of consistent implementation, and can translate behavioral principles into strategies that work in everyday settings.

As the BSC, you will provide behavioral consultation, guidance, and oversight to support the individual's needs and help the team achieve meaningful outcomes.

Responsibilities may include:

• Conducting behavioral assessments and identifying factors contributing to challenging behaviors.
• Developing, reviewing, and updating individualized Behavior Support Plans.
• Providing recommendations based on ABA and Positive Behavior Support principles.
• Identifying proactive strategies to prevent or reduce behavioral challenges.
• Developing strategies to strengthen communication, social skills, functional skills, and independence.
• Training and coaching family members and direct support professionals in implementing behavioral strategies.
• Observing the individual in home and community settings as appropriate.
• Reviewing behavioral data, monitoring progress, and recommending adjustments when needed.
• Providing ongoing consultation and support to the family and direct support team.
• Collaborating with other professionals involved in the individual's support.
• Completing required documentation and maintaining compliance with applicable program requirements.

The ideal candidate will:

• Meet the qualifications for a Behavior Specialist Consultant under applicable Pennsylvania ODP requirements.
• Have experience supporting individuals with autism and/or intellectual or developmental disabilities.

• Be comfortable working directly with families and coaching direct support professionals.
• Be practical, approachable, and able to develop strategies that can be consistently implemented in everyday situations.
• Have strong communication, organizational, and documentation skills.
• Be dependable, professional, and comfortable working independently.
• Value collaboration and understand the importance of consistency across a support team.

Candidates must meet applicable Pennsylvania ODP qualifications for the BSC service.

Relevant education and experience may include:

• Master's degree in Psychology, Applied Behavior Analysis, Special Education, Counseling, Social Work, or a related field.
• Relevant behavioral coursework and supervised experience.
• Experience conducting behavioral assessments and developing Behavior Support Plans.
• Experience working with individuals with autism and intellectual or developmental disabilities.
• Relevant professional credentials, certificates, or licensure.

Candidates must be able to provide documentation of their qualifications and meet applicable enrollment and provider requirements.

This position will begin on a part-time basis working with one family. However, we are interested in finding someone who would like the opportunity to grow professionally and expand their caseload.

There may be opportunities to provide BSC services to additional individuals and families through an agency, with the potential for this position to grow into full-time employment as the need and opportunities develop.

We are looking for someone interested in building a professional relationship, becoming part of a collaborative support team, and growing with the opportunity.
