BCBA Apprentice

Are you looking for a company that finally puts its money where its mouth is? Are you looking for a work/life balance? Do you yearn for a company where you can do your job without the red tape? Then, April ABA is the place for you.

April ABA is not your typical start-up. We are a clinician-operated, clinician-owned, female, and veteran-run organization whose mission is to support clinical systems so clinicians can focus on what's important: providing strong clinical care to individuals with autism.

We are looking for a well-rounded BCBA Apprentice eager to learn from clinical industry leaders and who desires to be a part of a growing organization. This candidate should share in our clinical values of progressive views in providing behavior analytic services, can work collaboratively with other clinicians and non-clinicians, and share in our primary value of protecting ABA services for our field and the betterment of our clients.

What you can expect:

• Support of your work/life cycle. We have developed systems to support clinicians in navigating any personal or professional needs during their employment
• Our Directors and non-clinical employees focus on systems analysis, performance management, and behaviorally-based safety so clinicians can efficiently incorporate those systems into treatment.
• Strong emphasis for clinicians to build business acumen. Our data is shared transparently so that our staff have the knowledge to be comfortable with the business component of the organization.
• Tiered bonus structure that guarantees clinicians have multiple opportunities to access reinforcement
  • Bonus structure involves operational (billable hours) AND clinical (treatment integrity scores, client progress, RBT performance, etc).
  • Staff are held accountable for the variables that are truly in their control
• PTO means PTO. Billable hours are prorated during PTO and holidays.
• Transparency with caseload decisions
  • Our unique caseload structure assigns cases based on a combination of diagnostic, environmental, and family variables.
  • Caseloads are adjusted up when clients make progress according to our system and are adjusted down if these variables increase. The decision to adjust caseloads is a collaborative decision between clinician and supervisor.
  • Clinicians will always be able to prepare for changes in their caseload based upon our system, never exceeding 25 hours per week.
• Strong clinical support and program
  • Our Apprentices conduct clinical rotations in OBM, severe challenging behavior, early learners, training/supervision/leadership, and verbal behavior
  • Extensive unrestricted opportunities, including training, special interest groups, and professional development courses
