Why ABA SHINE: We're a small, BCBA woman-owned Bay Area agency building supportive, sane workloads for clinicians. Our programs with ABA intervention programs or the Behavior Respite program are staffed by trained RBTs/BTs and supervised by BCBAs and mid-level. For the BR program we focus on supporting safety, stability, and family quality of life—with lighter documentation than insurance-funded ABA and predictable, family-friendly schedules.

What BCBAs love here:

• Manageable caseloads (primarily respite cases; or parent training sessions-limited treatment hours)
• Hybrid flexibility (remote report writing/admin; field for trainings/overlaps)
• Paid drive time + mileage and paid documentation
• CEU stipend ($500 (PT)–$1,000 (FT)) + paid BACB fees
• Clinical autonomy & strong ops support (scheduling, authorizations, payroll handled centrally)
• Growth paths: Lead BCBA, training lead, QA, or program development
• Work you can feel good about: stabilize homes, prevent placement disruptions, and mentor early-career techs

The Role: You will oversee Behavior Technicians providing either ABA program or the Behavior Respite services for children and young adults served by the Regional Center. You'll ensure services are safe, ethical, and consistent with BACB supervision standards and California Title 17/Regional Center requirements. (Behavior Respite is support-focused—not intensive treatment.) Core Responsibilities

• Conduct risk/safety and support needs reviews
• Train, coach, and supervise RBTs/BTs
• QA & compliance:
• Partner with caregivers, case managers, and schools to keep services consistent and sustainable.

Mission Statement:

The core value of our practice is inspired by Burrhus Frederic Skinner and Dr. Ole Ivar Lovaas. At ABA SHINE, we believe that recovery is possible and we design and implement our interventions with that in mind. Our team is committed to offering evidence-based interventions that are guided by science and inspired by compassion. We believe that Autism and related disorders are just part of our clients; it is not everything that they are. We treat each one of our clients as much more than a diagnosis.

THE ABA SHINE team offers exceptional ABA services delivered with care, enthusiasm, and human touch to promote fast and lasting progress. We are confident that our services exceed our clients' expectations. According to the parents' survey, our data shows clients' satisfaction and social validity of our services. ABA SHINE focuses on assessing or evaluating the client's needs. We believe that assessments are necessary; Assessments drive the development of our intervention programs. At ABA SHINE, assessments can look different based on the client's needs. ABA SHINE team design individualized intervention programs to overcome our client's deficits. We use clients' strengths to help teach new skills and support them in overcoming their challenges. We start our teaching by targeting fundamental skills and building on to new and complex skills. Every client has unique needs, and ABA SHINE tailors intervention programs to increase desired behaviors and decrease unwanted behavior. Eventually, ABA SHINE's focal point is that all clients reach their full potential.
