About The Position

Gracent Pediatric Therapy is seeking a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to join their team in Woodridge, IL. This full-time, in-person role offers a unique opportunity to provide high-quality, assent-based, neuroaffirming care to children. The company emphasizes manageable caseloads (6-8 kids), dedicated supervision (16-20%), and a truly interdisciplinary team approach, including BCBAs, SLPs, OTs, PTs, and mental health providers.

• A behavior puzzle-solver: Dives into tricky tantrums, stubborn skills, or curveball days with creativity and calm.
• A family translator: Can take ABA jargon and turn it into simple, supportive guidance for parents.
• A little bit playful: Knows therapy works best when it's fun and is not afraid to get on the floor, use silly voices, or celebrate small wins.
