About Bright Day Pediatric Therapies

Bright Day Pediatric Therapies is a vibrant, growing interdisciplinary clinic in Washington, DC providing behavioral therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to children with autism and developmental delays. We are committed to making access to high-quality, coordinated care simpler and more supportive for families — and to building a sustainable, low-burden environment for clinicians.

Our practice embraces values of simplicity, collaboration, outcome-focused care, and empowerment for children and families. Our space is designed to be safe, inclusive, and welcoming for all.

This role will support the thoughtful integration of the TIBS approach into Bright Day's emerging ABA program, with the opportunity to help shape how clinical quality, supervision, and team culture are built from the ground up.

Position Overview

We are seeking a BCBA to join Bright Day in a pivotal role as we launch and grow our ABA program and incorporate the TIBS for Kids model into our Washington, DC practice. This foundational role is ideal for someone excited to help shape clinical operations, supervise RBTs, and collaborate closely with other therapy disciplines.

We are at an exciting stage: RBTs are not yet onboarded, so this role will also be instrumental in recruiting, hiring, and developing the first members of the ABA team, ensuring that training, support, and quality standards are in place from the start. You won’t just be filling a role — you’ll be helping to build a clinic culture from the ground up. Your work will directly impact how families experience ABA services in our community.

Responsibilities may include, depending on experience and interest:

Lead the implementation of the TIBS for Kids ABA model within Bright Day Pediatric Therapies
Develop and oversee individualized treatment plans, functional behavior assessments, and behavior intervention plans
Provide exemplary ABA therapy to Bright Day clients
Assist in hiring and onboarding new RBTs, with a focus on building team culture
Provide direct supervision and clinical guidance to RBTs
Coordinate with clinic’s speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists
Communicate clearly and consistently with families and caregivers
Ensure documentation and performance meet ethical, payor, and regulatory requirements
Contribute to development of clinic-wide quality assurance and training frameworks

Qualifications

Must be Board Certified by BACB and in good standing with a clean background check
Eligible to practice ABA therapy in Washington, DC
3+ years of BCBA experience preferred
Background in early intervention and autism strongly preferred
Excellent communication and organizational skills
Passion for mentoring others and building strong systems of care
