Overview

The Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) is seeking highly motivated professionals to join our team. CARD is a founder‑owned organization and a mission‑driven leader focused on helping people with autism live their best lives. CARD uses applied behavior analysis (ABA) to address behaviors and deficits commonly associated with autism, with locations throughout the US and a network of trained behavior technicians, Board Certified Behavior Analysts, and researchers developing and implementing individualized treatment programs.

The Clinical Supervisor is responsible for all clinical aspects of treatment for the patients they oversee. This includes the assessment and analysis of the patient’s skills and challenging behaviors, development of treatment plans, overseeing the implementation of treatment, collaboration with and training of caregivers, and ongoing coaching and training of behavioral technicians.
