Who sets the clinical bar

The VP of Clinical Quality and Training, Liza Bodner, led the team that developed the Gracent Care Calculator, a peer-reviewed clinical tool that recommends treatment intensity based on the child’s needs, not a default. This means you don’t have to advocate for good practice; you just practice.

How you'll keep growing

  • Free in-house CEUs (BACB ACE Provider)
  • Co-treatment with SLPs, OTs, PTs, and mental health providers on the same cases
  • A defined advancement path, not a future goal

What you'll work with

  • Standardized assessments: ABLLS-R, VB-MAPP, AFLS, PEAK, Vineland
  • FBAs and BIPs built around the child
  • The Care Calculator and outcome-measurement tools (STEP Score, Report Cards)
  • Parent and caregiver training as a core part of every plan

What you bring

  • BCBA certification, licensed in IL and in good standing
  • Strong clinical judgment and clear, proactive communication
  • Genuine commitment to children and families navigating autism and developmental needs
  • Ability to perform essential functions such as sitting, standing, bending, and occasionally lifting up to 45 lbs

How your schedule actually works

  • Full-time, part-time, or reduced schedule
  • A midday appointment doesn't cost you PTO; you work around it

Supervise your RBTs and oversee clinical quality

  • Write and monitor individualized, assent-based, neuro-affirming treatment plans
  • Your assessment, your plan, your client

Mentor and train RBTs and newer BCBAs

  • Partner with families and collaborate live with SLPs, OTs, PTs, and mental health providers

Caseload and supervision
