Clinical Director (BCBA)-$2k Signing Bonus

Elite ABA Therapy, LLC is an outpatient behavioral health center that provides one-on-one center-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy 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. Our clinic hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. However, the hours needed for the clinical Director role are 8:30 am to 4:30 pm to assist with scheduling in the morning. The center is 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 and are grouped with up to 5 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.

The daily schedule is designed for 2 different sessions per day; the full-day program runs from 9 am to 3:30 pm., and the after-school session runs from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm.
