With clinics in Des Plaines and Wheeling, IL, and Kenosha – our mission is to empower children and families to reach their highest potential through individualized, evidence-based care. 

We value connection, creativity, and continuous learning for our clients and our team alike. 

Position Overview  

We’re seeking a full-time Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to join our growing Lake County team. This role offers partially remote flexibility—balancing remote clinical responsibilities with in-person sessions, team collaboration, and client observations. 

This is an excellent opportunity for a BCBA who values autonomy, collaboration, and a supportive culture grounded in professional growth and high-quality care. 

Key Responsibilities  

• Conduct comprehensive behavioral and skills assessments, including VB-MAPP, ABLLS-R, functional assessments, and ongoing progress evaluations. 
• Develop and update individualized, evidence-based treatment plans informed by assessment of findings, client needs, and family goals. 
• Provide direct clinical oversight, coaching, and performance feedback to RBTs and behavior technicians to ensure effective and ethical service delivery. 
• Model and train best-practice ABA procedures, including prompting, reinforcement, data collection, and behavior-reduction strategies. 
• Analyze client data regularly, identify trends, create data-driven updates, and ensure meaningful progress toward goals. 
• Deliver structured parent/caregiver training to promote generalization, support family confidence, and improve outcomes across environments. 
• Collaborate with families, school teams, and multidisciplinary providers to ensure continuity of care and reinforcement of therapeutic objectives. 
• Maintain accurate, timely clinical documentation in alignment with BACB standards, Medicaid/insurance requirements, and internal policies. 
• Participate actively in team meetings, clinical case reviews, and professional development, contributing to a culture of learning and excellence. 
• Support a positive, inclusive, and growth-oriented team environment, modeling professionalism, empathy, and mission-driven work. 

Qualifications  

• Active BCBA certification (in good standing with the BACB). 
• Master's degree in applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, Education, or related field. 
• Experience conducting assessments and supervising RBTs preferred. 
• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and time management skills. 
• Comfort working in a hybrid model (remote + in-person visits in Kenosha). 
• Reliable transportation for local client sessions and team meetings. 

Compensation & Benefits  

• Competitive salary: $75,000–$100,000 based on experience. 
• 401(k) with 4% employer contribution.  
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance. 
• Flexible, partially remote schedule promoting work-life balance. 
• Supportive clinical leadership and mentorship. 
• Ongoing professional development and CEU support up to $500 . 
• Paid time off and opportunities for advancement
