Big Impact Starts with Little Learners

Some of the most meaningful work in ABA happens before a child ever walks into a kindergarten classroom.

Interactive Kids is looking for a BCBA or BCaBA to join our Early ABA team in Cherry Hill, supporting young children up to age 6 during a critical stage of development.

This isn't a role where you'll spend your entire day behind a laptop writing plans for someone else to implement. You'll be part of the action: assessing new learners, developing individualized programming, coaching RBTs, partnering with families, analyzing progress, and collaborating with a team of clinicians who genuinely know their cases.

If you love early intervention, believe learning should feel natural and engaging, and want to see the impact of your clinical decisions firsthand, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Complete new client intakes through record review, caregiver interviews, and initial clinical assessment
• Conduct comprehensive behavior and developmental skills assessments, including tools such as the VB-MAPP, ABLLS-R, and ESDM Curriculum Checklist
• Conduct functional behavior assessments and other targeted assessments as clinically indicated
• Develop individualized, developmentally appropriate treatment plans and programming informed by current research and Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) principles
• Analyze ongoing client data and adjust goals, programming, and treatment plans based on progress
• Write clear, clinically sound insurance authorization reports that support medical necessity and meet payer requirements
• Provide parent and caregiver training in both clinic and home settings to help skills carry over into everyday life
• Train and supervise RBTs and direct care staff on treatment protocols, skill acquisition programming, and behavior-reduction procedures
• Collaborate with speech, OT, and other providers to support the whole child
• Work alongside fellow BCBAs and BCaBAs for case consultation, program development, and clinical decision-making

Why This Role Matters

The first few years of intervention can shape how much independence, communication, and confidence a child builds before entering school.

In this role, you get to help drive that process from the beginning. You'll assess needs, build treatment plans, support the people implementing them, coach families, and watch skills develop in real time.

And you won't be doing it alone.

Our Early ABA program is built around clinical collaboration, with regular supervision and ongoing support from fellow BCBAs and BCaBAs. You have independence as a clinician while still having a team to problem-solve with when a case gets complicated.

You Might Be a Great Fit If You...

• Are a current BCBA or BCaBA
• Love working with young children and understand that early intervention doesn't always look like sitting at a table
• Have strong clinical judgment and can translate assessment results into practical, meaningful programming
• Are comfortable coaching parents and caregivers, not just direct care staff
• Enjoy supervising, teaching, and developing RBTs
• Can balance clinical quality with documentation and insurance requirements
• Are organized enough to manage a caseload while remaining flexible when little-kid life inevitably changes the plan
• Value collaboration and want colleagues you can actually consult with
• Are comfortable providing services in both center and home-based settings
• Have reliable transportation and are willing to travel throughout Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester Counties

What Early ABA Looks Like At Interactive Kids

Our youngest learners don't need therapy to feel like a workday.

You'll see communication taught through play, social skills built alongside peers, independence practiced during everyday routines, and treatment goals incorporated into activities that are meaningful to young children.

That means getting on the floor, following a child's motivation, coaching staff in the moment, working closely with caregivers, and creating programming that is both clinically sound and developmentally appropriate.

We're looking for a consultant who understands the science of ABA but also understands the little person behind the data.

Why Interactive Kids

At Interactive Kids, our consultants are trusted to use their clinical judgment while still having access to the collaboration and support of a larger clinical team.

Full-time employees also have access to:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• PTO, paid sick time, and paid holidays
• $25,000 company-paid life insurance
• 401(k) with employer contribution
• Professional development and training opportunities
• Tuition discounts through university partners
• A collaborative team of BCBAs, BCaBAs, RBTs, and other professionals
