About The Position

Verbal Beginnings is a growing, BCBA-owned and operated, BHCOE-accredited and ACQ-accredited ABA therapy provider dedicated to unlocking the potential of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. With the belief that every child can learn, we promote independence and improve the quality of life for the children and families we serve through individualized, evidence-based treatment. We offer a full continuum of programs — including Early Intervention, In-Home, Social Skills, Feeding, Diagnostic, and our Comprehensive Services program incorporating Speech and OT — and we prioritize, support, and fund the professional development of every clinician on our team. At Verbal Beginnings, you can do the work you trained to do — without the friction that burns you out everywhere else. We were founded in 2011 by two clinicians who believed the people delivering care deserve as much investment as the kids receiving it. Fifteen years later, that's not a slogan — it's built into how we're structured. We remove the barriers. Dedicated schedulers, billing specialists, and intake staff mean you stay in your area of expertise — clinical work, not paperwork. You focus on your clients; we handle the rest. We invest in your growth. A network of 100+ BCBAs alongside Speech and Occupational Therapists, with access to mentorship, case collaboration, and special interest groups — plus a defined, tiered career ladder with the competencies for each level spelled out, so you always know what "next" looks like and exactly how to get there. We reward ambition. Our compensation is transparent and performance-based, with total earnings up to $116K — supported by the infrastructure to help you get there without burning out. We're built to last. Seven centers across Maryland and Virginia, and services provided in five states, and still growing — established enough to be stable, growing fast enough that there's real room to rise. More ways than one to earn. Leverage our BCBA referral program to earn as much as $5,000 per hired referral or take advantage of our BACB supervision program for aspiring BCBA trainees to earn as much as $8,000 annually. At Verbal Beginnings, you'll find a place where a clinician who cares about outcomes, growth, and craft can build something lasting — not just fill a caseload.
