About The Position

Gracent Pediatric Therapy is seeking a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to join their team in Wheaton, IL. This full-time, in-person role focuses on providing high-quality, assent-based, neuroaffirming pediatric ABA therapy. The company emphasizes manageable caseloads (6-8 kids), strong interdisciplinary collaboration, and a supportive environment where clinical judgment is trusted. BCBAs will have the opportunity to coach RBTs, partner with families, conduct assessments, and contribute to a team that values genuine clinical practice and work-life balance. Growth opportunities are available, with many leaders having started as BCBAs within the company.

Requirements

• Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), licensed in the state of Illinois, and in good standing.
• Strong communicator who is proactive and detail-oriented.
• Passion for serving children and families, especially those with autism and developmental needs.
• Ability to perform essential functions such as sitting, standing, bending, and occasionally lifting up to 45 lbs. Reasonable accommodations may be made.

Nice To Haves

• An RBT whisperer: You find joy in coaching, modeling, and seeing your RBTs gain confidence with every session.
• A reinforcement master: You don’t just teach reinforcement, you live it—high-fives, goofy cheers, and genuine praise are your love language.
• A data detective: You get a thrill from seeing graphs climb, spotting trends in behavior, and using data to tell the story of progress.
• A behavior puzzle-solver: Whether it’s a tricky tantrum, a stubborn skill, or a curveball day, you dive in with creativity and calm.
• A family translator: You can take ABA jargon and turn it into simple, supportive guidance that parents actually understand and appreciate.
• A little bit playful: You know therapy works best when it’s fun, and you’re not afraid to get on the floor, use silly voices, or celebrate tiny wins like they’re championship moments.

Responsibilities

• Provide clinical oversight and supervision for RBTs.
• Write and monitor individualized treatment plans grounded in assent-based, neuroaffirming care.
• Coach, mentor, and train RBTs.
• Partner with families to set meaningful goals and celebrate progress.
• Collaborate in real time with SLPs, OTs, PTs, and mental health providers.
• Run own assessments and intakes.
• Keep documentation and treatment plans at high clinical standards.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision for you and your family.
• 25+ days off in your first year, which includes PTO and 7 paid holidays.
• 401(k) with company match.
• $500 annual Professional Development stipend and free in-house CEUs as a BACB ACE Provider.
