About the Role
Reports to: Clinic Leadership Dyad (Executive Director and Clinical Director)
In collaboration with: Senior Director, Complex Care & Clinical Process Improvement
POSITION SUMMARY & PURPOSE
The High-Acuity Behavior Analyst (HA-BCBA) is a regionally embedded Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) responsible for supporting clinicians and clinic teams in the assessment and treatment of complex behavioral presentations. This role provides advanced clinical consultation for cases involving severe behavior, older learners, psychiatric comorbidities, or multi-system treatment needs.
The Analyst maintains a limited clinical caseload while serving as a local resource for other BCBAs requiring support with complex functional assessment, treatment design, and case stabilization. Through consultation, modeling, and collaboration with clinical leadership, the role strengthens regional clinical capacity and promotes effective, ethical treatment for individuals with elevated behavioral complexity.
This position focuses on clinical expertise and mentorship, not organizational case review governance or system oversight.

Requirements

• The High-Acuity Behavior Analyst requires a Master’s degree in Behavior Analysis, Psychology, Special Education, or a related field and must hold an active Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) credential.
• Minimum 5–7 years of clinical experience in applied behavior analysis, including experience supporting complex or severe behavior.
• Demonstrated expertise conducting and interpreting functional assessments, including functional analyses when appropriate.
• Experience working with older learners, adolescents, or adults with complex behavioral needs.
• Experience supporting individuals with psychiatric comorbidities, complex environmental variables, or multi-system treatment needs.
• Strong clinical consultation skills with the ability to mentor and support other BCBAs.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with clinical leadership and multidisciplinary teams.
• Excellent clinical reasoning, problem solving, and communication skills.
• Proficiency with organizational clinical documentation systems and collaboration tools.

Responsibilities

• Provide consultation to BCBAs managing cases involving severe behavior, psychiatric comorbidities, or other complex clinical presentations.
• Assist clinicians in designing and interpreting functional assessments, including functional analyses when appropriate.
• Support development of effective, behaviorally sound treatment plans for clients with complex needs.
• Collaborate with the Complex Care team and division leadership to identify cases that may benefit from additional clinical expertise.
• Provide guidance and support related to advanced functional assessment procedures.
• Assist clinicians in determining when more rigorous assessment approaches are clinically appropriate.
• Support interpretation of functional assessment results and translation into effective treatment strategies.
• Provide expertise in working with older learners and individuals with complex behavioral histories.
• Support clinicians addressing cases involving psychiatric comorbidities, environmental complexity, or multi-system treatment needs.
• Assist clinicians in adapting ABA interventions for adolescents and adults when traditional early learner strategies are insufficient.
• Serve as a divisional resource for BCBAs seeking guidance with complex clinical cases.
• Model advanced assessment and treatment approaches when appropriate.
• Support professional development of clinicians through consultation, case discussion, and problem solving.
• Maintain a small caseload of complex clients in order to remain actively engaged in clinical practice and maintain advanced treatment expertise.
• Implement and model best practices in assessment and treatment for complex behavioral presentations.
• Demonstrate effective case stabilization strategies that can inform consultation with other clinicians.

Benefits

• 21 paid days off (15 days of PTO, which increases with tenure, plus 6 holidays).
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA) options.
• Medical, dental, vision, long-term disability, and life insurance.
• Generous 401(k) with up to 6% employer match.
