The Clinical Leader Intern supports the design and delivery of evidence-based behavioral health services for children with autism spectrum disorders and/or related developmental disabilities. Under the supervision of a licensed or credentialed Clinical Leader, the intern assists with implementing treatment plans aligned with physician recommendations in home, school, center, and community settings. This is a hands-on internship combining direct client care, mentorship, and early leadership exposure; it is not an independent supervision role. The role provides 1:1 ABA services using play-based, evidence-based strategies and follows individualized treatment plans developed by Clinical Leaders. Interns support communication, socialization, and daily living skill development, carry a limited caseload with senior clinician support, and gain experience through joint sessions, shadowing, and in-field coaching. They also assist with documentation review, session preparation, treatment fidelity, and parent education conversations alongside Clinical Leaders, while collaborating with Training and Operations teams. CSD offers structured mentorship, paid training and hands-on learning through CSD University, and an early pathway toward Clinical Leader and BCBA-track roles. The position serves children and families across natural settings and requires reliable transportation, proof of specified vaccinations, comfort working with diverse populations, and the ability to meet training, documentation, and physical requirements. Starting pay is $20–$29 per hour, based on experience.
