About The Job

BAE provides Applied Behavior Analysis therapy to individuals with autism and other neurodiversities that is person-centered using assent-based assessments, interventions, and goal planning. Advanced behavior technicians who are working towards MA certification are eligible to apply to our Behavior Consultant supervised fieldwork position, leading towards a career as a BCBA. In this position, you will gradually experience behavioral analytic activities through the use of a portfolio and BCBA mentorship that will prepare you for your next steps.

Behavior Consultants expand their clinical experiences while progressing through experience levels under the mentorship and supervision of a BCBA.

Supervised experience as a Behavior Consultant includes opportunities to:

• Further expand professional experience across a variety of clients and program designs
• Apply advanced ABA technologies directly into practice across clients and their families
• Practice Behavior Skills Training during parent training and opportunities for training behavior technicians

Advanced behavior consultants may also be assigned a small supervision caseload in collaboration with a BCBA program manager, involving direct behavior intervention and behavior analytic supervision with a few assigned clients. This supervision model allows for continued advancement of technical skills as well as insights that are gained through direct implementation of the treatment plan.

BAE's Senior Behavior Consultant position is a continuation of the Behavior Consultant experience. This position requires a Master's Degree and completion of BCBA coursework.
