Description

About Children’s Specialized ABA

Children’s Specialized ABA is part of the Children’s Specialized Hospital Autism Center of Excellence. We serve children with ASD by combining clinical innovation, whole-child care, and personalized therapy.

At Children’s Specialized ABA, we envision a future where every child diagnosed with autism has access to innovative and compassionate care, empowering them to thrive and reach their full potential. Our vision is built on four core values:

• Inclusivity: We celebrate the diversity within the Autism spectrum and are committed to creating an inclusive environment that respects and values each person’s individual strengths and differences.
• Innovation: We foster a culture of creativity and collaboration, exploring new ideas to develop personalized solutions that enhance quality of life for all children with Autism.
• Connection: We actively engage with the health systems and broader community to coordinate services and care for people with Autism.
• Quality and Safety: We invest in research and training to provide cutting‑edge, effective, safe, and personalized services tailored to the unique needs of those we serve.

Join Us as a Bilingual Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)!

In this unique role, you'll serve as a critical bridge between our clinical teams and Spanish-speaking families, ensuring caregivers receive the guidance, education, and partnership they need to confidently support their child's progress.

While you'll maintain a small caseload of your own, a significant portion of your work will focus on providing family guidance sessions in families' native language, helping remove communication barriers and strengthen engagement in treatment.

This position is approximately 70% remote, allowing you to complete treatment planning, family guidance, and administrative responsibilities from home. Candidates must be available Monday through Friday until 7:00 PM to support supervision needs during peak service hours.

If you're passionate about strengthening family engagement, improving access to care, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of children and families, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

• Serve as a primary clinical resource for Spanish-speaking families, providing ongoing family guidance, caregiver coaching, and support in their preferred language.
• Build strong relationships with caregivers to increase engagement, understanding, and consistency in implementing ABA strategies across settings.
• Conduct family guidance sessions focused on skill acquisition, behavior reduction strategies, caregiver training, and progress toward treatment goals.
• Partner closely with each client's primary BCBA to ensure treatment recommendations, clinical updates, and behavioral strategies are effectively communicated to families.
• Help bridge communication gaps between families and clinical teams, ensuring caregivers fully understand treatment plans, recommendations, and progress updates.
• Develop individualized treatment plans and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs) based on assessment findings and ongoing client needs.
• Conduct behavioral assessments, reassessments, and clinical reviews as needed.
• Monitor client progress and analyze treatment data to guide clinical decision-making and treatment modifications.
• Provide supervision, support, and clinical guidance to Behavior Technicians (BTs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs).
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including educators, therapists, physicians, and internal partners to support positive client outcomes.
• Ensure clinical documentation, treatment plans, supervision, and family guidance activities meet regulatory and payer requirements.
• Maintain availability for evening supervision and family support through 7:00 PM Monday through Friday.

What You’ll Need

• Fluency in both English and Spanish, with the ability to conduct clinical conversations, caregiver training, and documentation-related discussions in both languages.
• Experience providing caregiver training, family guidance, and parent coaching within ABA services.
• Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, or a related field
• Current certification as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)
• Completion of BCBA supervision training
• Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA) in the state of NJ
