School Based Behavior Interventionist- Litchfield County
About The Position
Creative Interventions’ School-Based Behavior Interventionist works in public schools alongside teachers, administrators, and IEP teams. The role provides direct ABA services to assigned students under BCBA supervision and contributes to clinical work such as assessments, Functional Behavior Assessments, report writing, treatment-plan development, staff training, and IEP meetings. The position offers supervised fieldwork toward BCBA certification, with coaching from experienced BCBAs and opportunities to learn through real cases in schools. The organization’s approach is trauma-informed and assent-based, emphasizing safety, trust, student choice, and building skills through connection rather than compliance. The role partners with school districts to reduce physical intervention and replace reactive responses with proactive, compassionate systems.

The employee reports to the Managing Director, who handles annual performance reviews and questions about policy, availability, or concerns. Day-to-day work may also involve an on-site administrator or district liaison, as directed by the BCBA.
