A bit about us:

We are a mission-driven nonprofit organization providing educational and therapeutic services to children and adults with autism, Down syndrome, and other developmental disabilities. This position is based within a specialized preschool serving children ages 3–5 in structured classrooms.

The program brings special education teachers, BCBAs, speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, administrators, and families together around one goal: helping each student build the behavioral, communication, social, and developmental skills needed for kindergarten and beyond.

You became a BCBA to improve outcomes—not to create a beautiful behavior plan that spends the rest of the year living untouched in a binder. In this role, you will train the people implementing the plan, monitor what is working, adjust what is not, and help behavioral strategies become part of the student’s actual day.

This is meaningful early-intervention work with a consistent school-day schedule, small classroom ratios, an established interdisciplinary structure, and the opportunity to influence how students are supported both at school and at home.

Why join us?

• Work a 34.25-hour week, creating more breathing room than many traditional full-time clinical positions
• Follow a 45-week annual schedule rather than working through a standard 52-week calendar
• Finish your scheduled day by 3:00 p.m.
• Maintain a predictable Monday-through-Friday routine without a rotating evening schedule
• Support children during the early-intervention years, when consistent behavioral strategies can make a lasting difference
• Collaborate directly with special education teachers, speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, administrators, and families
• Have ownership over the full behavioral process—from assessment and plan development through staff training, implementation, data review, and modification
• Help classroom staff pursue RBT certification and provide supervision once they obtain the credential
• Build stronger continuity between school and home by providing parents with practical behavioral strategies and progress updates
• Receive health, dental, vision, and life insurance options
• Build long-term savings through a 401(k), employer matching, and retirement-plan benefits
• Receive paid time off, parental leave, flexible spending account options, and a referral program

Job Details

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
• Conduct Functional Behavior Assessments and develop individualized Behavior Intervention Plans with measurable, developmentally appropriate goals
• Train and supervise classroom staff in behavioral strategies while monitoring implementation fidelity
• Review behavioral data, evaluate student progress, and modify intervention plans based on measurable outcomes
• Collaborate with special education teachers, speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, administrators, and families
• Prepare behavioral documentation and recommendations for CPSE meetings, annual reviews, IEP planning, and parent updates


SKILLS YOU NEED
• Required: Current Board Certified Behavior Analyst certification
• Required: Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis or a closely related field
• Preferred: At least two years of BCBA experience, including experience with preschool-aged children who have developmental or behavioral support needs
• Preferred: Familiarity with IEP development, CPSE processes, annual reviews, behavioral data systems, or bilingual English/Spanish communication
