About The Position

The schedule is Monday-Friday afternoons, approximately 10 hours per week, with exact session times from 3pm-5pm. This is a single client case.

Step Ahead ABA supports families on Medicaid across Iowa, ensuring access to therapy regardless of income. Each family receives a dedicated care manager and a schedule tailored to the client's needs, the family's availability, and the RBT's availability, not dictated by corporate hour targets.
