We were founded by professionals who have worked both directly in school districts and as contractors. Our mission is to create a supportive, ethical alternative to large staffing agencies — one where clinicians are empowered, respected, and mentored.We value transparency, collaboration, and authenticity. Many of us still work directly in schools alongside our team. We are deeply committed to making a difference in the lives of students and the professionals who serve them.**Our Core Values:*** **Equity:** We are committed to creating an inclusive, equitable work environment. We support organizations like The Conscious Kid and provide anti-discrimination resources to our team.* **Community:** We actively volunteer and support local organizations such as Special Olympics, Project Canine, and The Moth.* **Sustainability:** We reduce waste through digital systems, eco-conscious practices, and a pledge to maintain a negative carbon footprint.If you're a reliable and compassionate BCBA who wants to make a difference in a school-based setting, we'd love to hear from you.We're a small business, local to many of the areas we hire in, and are proud to be women, minority, and therapist-founded and run.We began our career working in schools both as district and contract employees. We sought to create an alternative to working with big staffing companies. The result is a small team of like-minded specialists who are striving to create a company that we would want to work for. Because we are therapists ourselves, we are deeply appreciative of and understand the work that you do. We're also in a unique position to be able to support and mentor those who are new to this practice area. We're so passionate about students that we're often working in the schools ourselves. You might find us doing treatments alongside you!
