- Help shape the future of Let’s Play N Grow as we expand into a comprehensive autism center, integrating additional treatment modalities alongside ABA therapy.
- Maintain compliance with all applicable regulations, ethical guidelines, and standards of practice within the field of ABA.
- Contribute to creating a joyful, safe, and positive environment where children feel happy and excited to be at the center.
- Participate in ongoing research efforts to support evidence-based practices and stay at the forefront of advances in autism treatment.
Qualifications:
- Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) in good standing.
- A minimum of 3 years of experience working in a clinical setting with children with autism, with at least 1 year in a leadership or supervisory role.
- Strong understanding of play-based ABA therapy and the ability to create individualized treatment plans.
