Low Caseload. Daytime Hours. Hybrid Flexibility. More Time to Practice.

Join AB Spectrum, a Top Workplace recognized by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, where we’re rethinking what ABA therapy can look like for young children.

We provide specialized ReggioABA therapy for children ages 2-6, blending evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis with the child-led, creative principles of Reggio Emilia.

We believe BCBAs do their best work when they have the time, support, and freedom to focus on clinical quality.

• $75,000–$100,000 salary, based on experience
• Up to $10,000 sign-on bonus at Florissant; $5,000 at St. Peters
• Target caseload of approximately 6 clients
• 1 hybrid/remote day each week
• Collaborative team of BCBAs, RBTs, SLPs, and support professionals
• Dedicated administrative and billing support
• Mentorship, professional development, and leadership opportunities
• Annual CEU reimbursement and licensure support

Practice ABA Through Play

At AB Spectrum, we don't believe effective ABA has to happen behind a desk.

Our Therapy Through Play model creates a natural, preschool-like environment where children learn through play, exploration, relationships, and real-world experiences.

You'll have the opportunity to be hands-on with your clients—playing, exploring, getting messy, building relationships, and creating meaningful learning experiences.

Our clinics feature expansive play spaces, outdoor therapy areas, community-based learning opportunities, and enriching experiences that bring therapy to life.

What You'll Do

As a BCBA, you'll serve as a clinical leader for your clients and team by:

• Conducting skills assessments and functional behavior assessments
• Developing individualized, data-driven treatment plans and BIPs
• Monitoring progress and making clinically appropriate adjustments
• Providing supervision, coaching, and mentorship to RBTs and ABA Implementers
• Supporting practicum students and developing future clinicians
• Partnering with families and caregivers
• Collaborating with BCBAs, SLPs, and other members of the care team
• Providing staff training and ensuring clinical protocols are implemented effectively
• Maintaining ethical and clinical standards in accordance with BACB requirements

We're looking for a BCBA who is:

• An active BCBA in good standing with the BACB
• Licensed or eligible for Missouri LBA licensure
• A Master's-level clinician in ABA, Psychology, Education, or a related field
• Experienced working with children and families
• Collaborative, organized, and clinically driven
• Passionate about mentorship and continuous learning
• Committed to compassionate, child-centered care
• Excited to be hands-on—not behind a laptop all day

$75,000–$100,000 salary, commensurate with experience

Sign-On Bonus:

• $5,000 – St. Peters

Additional benefits include:

• Generous PTO and paid holidays
• Sick time
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Employee-level medical coverage fully paid after one year
• HSA options
• Dependent Care FSA
• 401(k)
• Employer-provided life insurance
• Licensure support
• Dedicated administrative and billing support
