Soar Autism Center is committed to delivering exceptional, ethical care for young children. We practice play-based, trauma-informed ABA aligned with the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), within an integrated care center where collaboration with SLPs, OTs, psychologists, and medical providers is part of daily practice.

Compensation and role design

• Base pay: $86,000.00 – $113,500.00/year.
• Annual performance bonus potential up to $3,800. Additional compensation beyond the range for achieving clinical certifications.
• Bonus: Up to $10,000 sign-on bonus, based on start date and location.
• Caseload: 7–8 children per BCBA, designed for depth and quality of care.
• Hybrid: 1 work-from-home day per week per BCBA, with some opportunity for 2 work-from-home days depending on center maturity, clinical needs, and team coordination.
• Support and training: Deep onboarding and ongoing training in our ESDM-based care model, with close clinical leadership support.
• Clinical growth: Multiple paths to grow as a clinician including center/regional leadership and specialized roles.
• Culture: Values include high expectations, collaboration, and a supportive, engaging environment.

Job responsibilities

• Design and implement individualized, naturalistic ABA for children ages 2–6 in a center-based setting.
• Collaborate with a dynamic interdisciplinary clinical team (SLP, OT, psychology, developmental pediatrics) on assessments and integrated treatment plans.
• Use ESDM-informed strategies (training provided; ESDM experience not required).
• Conduct standardized assessments, track progress, and adjust plans based on data.
• Partner with families through clear guidance, compassionate communication, and practical support.
• Maintain a manageable caseload focused on depth of care, not volume.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Special Education, or a related field.
• Current BCBA certification.
• ABA early intervention experience.
• Preferred: background in Child Development, Early Childhood Education, or a related field.

Additional benefits

• Quality medical (0 deductible), dental, and vision plans.
• 11 company holidays + 15–20 additional paid days off.
• 401(k) with company contribution after 1 year.
• Short-term disability covered by Soar and paid maternity leave available.
• Student loan repayment assistance.

• Weekly interdisciplinary collaboration and care meetings.
• Potential for an enhanced hybrid schedule in some centers (up to 2 telehealth days/week based on clinical needs and team coordination).
