Academy Social Skills BCBA

About the role

At Action Behavior Centers (ABC), we help autistic children build communication, social, and daily living skills through evidence-based applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy. As a BCBA at ABC Academy, you’ll help school-age children build the skills they need for the classroom, partnering with families and educators to support each child’s move into school.

About ABC Academy: ABC Academy serves children ages 5 to 12, with a focus on school readiness and social skills. The clinical model supports children as they transition from early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) into school. BCBAs set individualized goals in collaboration with families after a thorough assessment of each child’s needs. You’ll work with educators on Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), help children generalize skills to the classroom, and prepare them for success at school.
