Why ABA SHINE

ABA SHINE is seeking a passionate, collaborative, and experienced Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to join our growing clinical team. We provide a diverse range of behavior analytic services to individuals across the lifespan through partnerships with the Regional Center of the East Bay (RCEB), (CCHP), and other funding sources. Our services include comprehensive ABA, focus ABA, Behavior Intervention Services (BIS), Behavior Respite, caregiver coaching, and parent-led intervention models (no CCS clients).

As a BCBA at ABA SHINE, you will have the opportunity to work across a variety of programs, populations, and service delivery models, creating a dynamic and rewarding professional experience. Depending on your assigned caseload, you may provide early intervention services for young children, support individuals with complex behavioral needs in home and community settings, supervise Behavior Respite programs, conduct behavioral assessments, develop behavior support plans, train caregivers, and mentor Behavior Technicians (BTs), Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), and mid-level supervisors.

Our clinical model emphasizes a collaborative three-tiered service approach whenever appropriate, allowing BCBAs to lead multidisciplinary teams while providing high-quality supervision, caregiver coaching, and evidence-based interventions. You will partner closely with families to build meaningful skills, reduce challenging behaviors, and promote long-term independence through individualized treatment plans.

At ABA SHINE, no two days are the same. Our wide variety of programs provides exceptional opportunities to expand your clinical expertise, gain experience with diverse client populations, strengthen leadership skills, and collaborate with an experienced team of BCBAs and developing clinicians. Whether your passion is early intervention, parent training, behavior consultation, or supporting individuals with significant behavioral challenges, ABA SHINE offers an environment where you can continue to grow professionally while making a meaningful impact on the lives of the families we serve.
We focus on early intervention using ABA principles to teach all 5 verbal operant i, and our Behavior Respite program is also staffed by trained RBTs/BTs and supervised by BCBAs and mid-level, who focus on safety, stability, and family quality of life with lighter documentation than insurance-funded ABA and predictable, family-friendly schedules.
