• Leadership capabilities for training and guiding teams
• Prior experience in similar environments or with students requiring intensive supports preferred

Primary Responsibilities:

• Conduct functional behavior assessments to understand the underlying causes of extreme behaviors

• Collaborate with and train a multidisciplinary team including 10+ paraeducators, RBTs, and aides
• Provide on-site coaching and leadership to ensure fidelity to behavior intervention plans
• Maintain ongoing communication with teaching staff, offering hands-on support and professional development
• Evaluate program effectiveness and recommend adaptations based on student progress and needs
• Work within a continuum-of-care model—avoiding isolation—fostering inclusive, supportive school environments

This is a rewarding chance to use your BCBA expertise to offer stability, leadership, and hope to students and staff. If you are passionate about making a difference for students with complex behavioral needs, apply now to play a key role in this dedicated and resourceful professional community.
