Why ABA SHINE
We're a small, woman-owned Bay Area agency building supportive, sane workloads for clinicians.

- Hybrid flexibility (remote report writing/admin; field for trainings/overlaps)
- Paid drive time + mileage and paid documentation
- CEU stipend ($500-$1,000/yr) + paid BACB fees
- Clinical autonomy & strong ops support (scheduling, authorizations, payroll handled centrally)
- Growth paths: Lead BCBA, training lead, QA, or program development
- Work you can feel good about: stabilize homes, prevent placement disruptions, and mentor early-career techs

Mission Statement:
The core value of our practice is inspired by Burrhus Frederic Skinner and Dr. Ole Ivar Lovaas.
At ABA SHINE, we believe that recovery is possible and we design and implement our interventions with that in mind. Our team is committed to offering evidence-based interventions that are guided by science and inspired by compassion.
We believe that Autism and related disorders are just part of our clients; it is not everything that they are. We treat each one of our clients as much more than a diagnosis.
ABA SHINE Services:
ABA SHINE supports individuals with Autism and other developmental challenges using individualized methodologies that have been tested and proven effective in the literature. THE ABA SHINE team offers exceptional ABA services delivered with care, enthusiasm, and human touch to promote fast and lasting progress. We are confident that our services exceed our clients' expectations. According to the parents' survey, our data shows clients' satisfaction and social validity of our services.
ABA SHINE focuses on assessing or evaluating the client's needs. We believe that assessments are necessary; Assessments drive the development of our intervention programs. At ABA SHINE, assessments can look different based on the client's needs. ABA SHINE team design individualized intervention programs to overcome our client's deficits. We use clients' strengths to help teach new skills and support them in overcoming their challenges. We start our teaching by targeting fundamental skills and building on to new and complex skills. Every client has unique needs, and ABA SHINE tailors intervention programs to increase desired behaviors and decrease unwanted behavior. Eventually, ABA SHINE's focal point is that all clients reach their full potential. Our goal is to work with families to produce the treatment intervention program that will help enhance the lives of our clients and their families.
