Job description

At Behavior And Education (BAE), people come first. We create authentic relationships that are rich in reinforcement to bring out the best in each other as we learn and grow together. We value lessons learned over errors made, and we are on a mission of continuous improvement to better the lives of those in our care.

We invite you to join our diverse team of talented professionals and use the science of applied behavior analysis to make a positive difference.

Entry-level through senior-level ABA professionals are encouraged to apply. BAE's comprehensive paid training program allows new team members to become certified as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and certified in Nonviolent Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI). Supervising behavior analysts provide ongoing support and professional development as our behavior technicians advance through experience levels along their BAE career journey.

BAE is known for our supervised fieldwork program and for producing highly skilled and multi-competent behavior analysts. These positions, from behavior consultant through senior (master's level) behavior consultant, allow for accrual of behavior analytic and unrestricted BACB fieldwork hours while developing the professional acumen of a behavior analyst through a scaffolded behavioral learning approach. BAE has partnerships with various Universities to offer tuition discount to BAE employees who are interested in pursuing advanced education.

BAE is proud to be accredited since 2017 by the behavioral health center of excellence (BHCOE).

Behavior Therapist Level 3 ($21-26/hr): Advanced technician (25+ months), demonstrating high-level competencies, supporting new hires, and engaging in clinical discussions.

Behavior Consultant Level 1 ($26-28/hr): Entry-level behaviorist (80-90% client work) working toward master’s degree in ABA, developing data analysis, programming, and graphing skills.

Behavior Consultant Level 2 ($27-29/hr): Mid-level behaviorist (70-50% client work), working toward master’s degree in ABA, writing programs, analyzing data, and emerging in parent training.

Behavior Consultant Level 3 ($28-30/hr): Advanced behaviorist (50-40% client work), working toward master’s degree in ABA, self-supervising cases, leading parent training, and drafting reports.
