Join Us as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)

We’re looking for a passionate BCBA to join our team and help improve the lives of children and families through evidence-based ABA practices.

At Children’s Specialized ABA, we believe great clinical work shouldn’t come at the expense of your personal life. That’s why we’ve built a role that supports both. You’ll enjoy fully paid medical insurance (yep, no cost to you for employee-only coverage), a flexible hybrid schedule that lets you balance remote billable work with in-center supervision, and a refreshingly low billable hour requirement—just 25 per week. And if you go above that? You’ll earn an extra $80–$90 per hour for every additional hour billed. Work hard, get rewarded—it’s that simple.

If you're ready to make a difference in a role that values your expertise and your time, we’d love to connect.

What You'll Do:

• Conduct comprehensive behavioral assessments and reassessments, including Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) and skills assessments, to identify target behaviors.

• Develop individualized Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs) based on assessment outcomes.

• Design, implement, and modify treatment programs grounded in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles.

• Train and supervise Behavior Technicians (BTs), Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), and other team members on intervention strategies.

• Monitor client progress toward treatment goals and adjust plans as needed to improve outcomes.

• Ensure consistent, accurate data collection for all target behaviors and treatment objectives.

• Analyze treatment data regularly to guide clinical decision-making and ensure effectiveness.

• Provide ongoing training and support to families, caregivers, and relevant stakeholders in behavioral strategies.

• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including physicians, educators, and therapists, to support holistic care.

• Communicate regularly with families to share updates, address behavioral challenges, and offer actionable recommendations.

What You'll Need

• Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, or a related field

• Current certification as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)

• Completion of BCBA supervision training

• Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA) in the state of Maryland
