Hybrid Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)

Hybrid BCBA (Sioux City, IA): Make Worlds Bigger. Change Lives. Stride Autism Centers.

About Stride

Stride Autism Centers was built differently. Founded by a family with firsthand experience navigating autism, we set out to create something better for children, families, and the clinicians who serve them. Today, we operate 23 award-winning, center-based ABA clinics across Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, and South Dakota, and we're growing.

71% of our clients mainstream into general education classrooms after Stride. 98% of parents report meaningful improvements in their child's ability to initiate communication. Those outcomes are only possible because of the quality of our clinical team.

The Role

This is a hybrid BCBA position supporting our Sioux City center. You'll be on site in Sioux City one day per week and work remotely the remaining days. Your weekly on-site day is flexible and will be determined in coordination with leadership, so it can work around your life and your learners' needs. Because you'll be in the center weekly, candidates must live within a two-hour drive of Sioux City.

As a BCBA at Stride, you'll carry a caseload of preschool learners (ages 2–6) and work closely with your Clinic Director, Director of Clinical Operations, and Chief Clinical Officer to drive meaningful outcomes for young learners and their families. You'll have consistent access to consultative support from thought leaders in the field of ABA, and you'll be part of a collaborative team that takes clinical excellence seriously.

This is a role for someone who wants to focus on great clinical work, supported by a structure that makes that possible.

Our Core Values

Everything we do at Stride is grounded in five principles:

• Do What's Right: For clients, for families, for each other.
• Continuous Improvement: We pursue growth personally and professionally, always.
• Collaborate, Collaborate, Collaborate: Great clinical outcomes are a team effort.
• Infuse Joy: We bring energy, warmth, and positivity to everything we do.
• Care BIG: We show up fully for the children and families who trust us.

If these values reflect how you work, you'll feel at home here.

• Conduct assessments (VB-MAPP, Vineland, etc.) and develop individualized treatment and behavior intervention plans
• Supervise, train, and support RBTs through hands-on, in-center engagement on your weekly on-site day and ongoing remote oversight the rest of the week
• Complete treatment planning, documentation, report writing, and caregiver collaboration remotely
• Partner with parents and caregivers to build skills that generalize beyond the clinic
• Collaborate with the Sioux City Clinic Director and the Director of Clinical Operations to maintain best-in-class outcomes as Stride continues to grow
