Job description

Why Become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) at Bierman?

Many clinicians enter ABA wanting to grow, sharpen their skills, mentor others, and make a real difference. But often revenue targets and operational pressures shadow clinical development and client progress.

For 20 years we’ve stayed BCBA‑owned, privately held, debt‑free, and independent, meaning no outside investors influence our clinical values. Our model mirrors a teaching hospital: collaborative, research‑driven, and designed to help clinicians develop into the leaders they envisioned when they first joined the field.

Outcomes drive everything we do. We use Precision Teaching to create a shared data language and make stay, stop, or change decisions every 3‑5 days so children continue making meaningful progress. Progress is tracked daily through “change harders,” allowing us to support clinicians in real time and identify where teams need help. This disciplined, data‑driven approach leads to exceptional results, with 70‑75% of learners graduating to general education or supported settings in about 20 months.

Join a motivated and energetic team focused on transforming the lives of children diagnosed with autism while building a fun and creative culture at work. We continually challenge ourselves to do anything it takes to enable our kids to reach their potential on their terms.
