Behavior Analyst (BCBA) PART-TIME

Behavior Analyst (BCBA)

Advancing Beyond the Spectrum (ABS) was founded in 2014 by two female minority BCBAs who wanted to provide the highest quality, evidence-based practices for children with developmental delays from diverse backgrounds. We create cooperative partnerships between home, school, and community. Our services are predicated on the study of Applied Behavior Analysis, with our goal being to help children move beyond labels and into futures that include meaningful social relationships, academic success, functional behaviors, and effective communication.

Our mission is to provide exceptional service to our clients and their families. For nearly a decade, we have been dedicated to this mission by hiring and retaining the top ABA professionals in Maryland. Our approach has helped us to sustain employee retention rates that exceed industry standards. Our team is diverse, passionate, and compassionate, with a service-first mindset that enables us to deliver the highest quality care to those we serve. We provide our employees with all the tools and support needed to set them up for success in order to provide the best outcomes possible for our clients and our communities.
