What You’ll Actually Be Doing(aka no surprises later)

  • Carry a manageable caseload across home, community, school, and center-based settings — with gradual onboarding so you're not thrown into the deep end
  • Conduct assessments, develop individualized behavior support plans, and lead treatment using a play-based, NET-based, and trauma-informed approach
  • Supervise and mentor RBTs, with the support of a clinical director who shows up in person when needed
  • Collaborate closely with families, incorporating caregiver training and building self-advocacy goals into programming
  • Contribute to a BCBA-owned practice where your clinical voice is heard — and where you can grow into a specialty director role if that's your path
3

Caseload & Support Transparency(because details matter)

  • Caseload size — 5–6 clients (gradual build-up — no case-dumping on day one)
  • Billable hour expectations — 24–25 hours per week

Support Structure

  • Clinical director provides in-person support, meets with BCBAs regularly, and steps in for complex family situations
  • Senior BCBAs mentor first-year clinicians; specialization-based mentorship available (adults, aggression, early intervention, social skills, etc.)
  • Small, communicative admin team handles scheduling and logistics — BCBAs are not left managing admin alone
  • Supervision is not tied to billing pressure; flexibility is built into the model
