About the Role:

Our dynamic school district seeks two compassionate, flexible Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) to join a team of three BCBAs for the 2025‑2026 academic year.

• Lead Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs): Conduct comprehensive FBAs to identify why a student engages in challenging behaviors and develop evidence‑based, individualized intervention strategies.
• Develop Behavior Intervention Plans: Use data from observations and assessments to create targeted Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs) that teach alternative, appropriate behaviors and support students’ academic and social success.
• Train and Empower Staff & Families: Provide ongoing professional development to teachers, paraprofessionals, and parents on proactive behavior intervention, de‑escalation strategies, and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles. Training topics include active listening, empathy, calm body language, non‑verbal cues, and co‑regulation techniques.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with educators, administrators, and families to ensure strategies are consistently implemented; coach Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and BCaBAs to maintain fidelity.
• Support Early Intervention: Advocate for early behavioral support and maintain thorough documentation. Regularly review data and adjust plans to meet student needs.
• Stay Current: Engage in ongoing professional development and incorporate new ABA techniques, ensuring interventions remain evidence‑based.

• Credentials: Master’s degree in psychology, education, behavior analysis, or related field and current BCBA certification (required).
• Experience: At least 1 year of school‑based ABA experience and experience implementing ABA interventions or supervising programs for students with autism (preferred).
• Knowledge & Skills:
• Deep understanding of functional assessment procedures and behavior intervention planning
• Ability to train others in proactive and de‑escalation strategies
• Familiarity with legal requirements such as IDEA 2004 mandating FBAs when students face significant discipline
• Personal Qualities:
• Flexible and adaptable—comfortable with caseloads that may change.
• Strong communication skills and willingness to travel to multiple sites.
• Commitment to equity, inclusion, and collaboration.

• Competitive Compensation: Earn up to $69/hour and several thousand in bonuses, as well as a full list of benefits!
• Job Security with Balance: This contract renews annually for all BCBA's. That’s up to $99,340 per school year with 10 weeks of summer off.
• Impactful Work: You’ll play a vital role in improving students’ lives by increasing helpful behaviors and reducing harmful ones through evidence‑based ABA strategies.
• Supportive Environment: Work directly with an experienced Program Specialist, collaborate with a dedicated team of BCBAs, and gain exposure to diverse K‑12 settings.
• Professional Growth: Opportunities for advanced training, scenario‑based interviews that value problem‑solving, and the chance to shape district‑wide behavioral programs.
