Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) – Adult Services

North Austin, TX | Full-Time

Are you a BCBA who wants to make a meaningful impact beyond early intervention and pediatric clinic settings?

This is an opportunity to work with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in a person-centered environment focused on independence, dignity, communication, vocational growth, and real-life success skills.

While many ABA positions focus primarily on children, adult services offer a different kind of clinical experience. Instead of table programs and early childhood goals, you'll help adults build practical life skills that directly improve daily living, employment readiness, social relationships, community integration, and long-term independence.

Why Many BCBAs Prefer Working with Adults

• More naturalistic teaching environments
• Greater collaboration and autonomy
• Less repetitive programming
• Stronger emphasis on quality of life outcomes
• Opportunities to teach meaningful real-world skills
• More mature client interactions and relationship building
• A mission-driven environment focused on dignity and independence

Many clinicians who transition from pediatric ABA to adult services report that they enjoy the broader scope of behavior analysis and the ability to focus on functional, lifelong outcomes.
