Clinic Assistant

Elite ABA Therapy, LLC is an outpatient behavioral health center that provides one-on-one center-based Intensive Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) to children between the ages of 2 to 8 who have been diagnosed with Autism and/or other developmental delays. We are located in Wilkes-Barre Twp, PA and operate year-round. The schedule for this role is Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm. We are closed on all federal holidays.

Elite ABA Therapy, LLC specializes in providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services, which are the most widely known evidence-based practices for teaching new skills and improving behavior. Our goal is to optimize our clients’ independence and promote social integration by teaching meaningful and socially significant skills in the least restrictive environment. Our clinic is designed to simulate an Early Intervention-like setting, but without academic curriculum. Teaching is completely individualized and based on the client’s needs identified in their treatment plan. Clients receive 1:1 individual services but are grouped with up to 7 other children to simulate a classroom. Each group of children follow a daily schedule of activities that include both individual and group formats. Individual activities include direct instruction of skill acquisition programs specified in the client’s individualized treatment plan, such as teaching communication skills. Group activities include circle time, structured play groups, and planned activities (music, arts and crafts, etc.) to work on social skills and generalizing learned skills to group settings.
