About Our CCS Program

Complex Care Services has been innovating clinical services in the behavioral health system since 2011. It is a whole‑family treatment and support model based on the science of applied behavior analysis (ABA). CCS is a graduation‑based program that families participate in for 6 to 12 months. 75% of families who have participated in CCS have successfully graduated with behavioral and quality‑of‑life gains that maintain long after graduation.

Career Development

The role of Clinical Technician is to collaborate with their clinical teams led by Board Certified Behavior Analysts providing direct support to children, teens, and adults participating in the program.
