Bring Your Clinical BCBA Skills Into a School Setting, Without Leaving ABA Behind

We’re a Colorado Department of Education (CDE)-authorized facility school serving students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and related developmental or behavioral needs who benefit from a smaller, highly individualized educational environment.

Our model brings together Special Education and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), along with Speech, Occupational, and Physical Therapy, to create one integrated program.

For a BCBA coming from a clinical ABA setting, this role offers a unique transition into education without stepping away from the work you love. You’ll continue using your clinical expertise in functional assessment, behavior programming, data analysis, staff coaching, and intensive behavioral support - while your Special Education Teacher takes the lead on academic and skill-acquisition programming.

Why BCBAs Love the Facility School Model

No billable-hour requirements or productivity quotas.

No traditional ABA session notes.

No pressure to balance clinical decision‑making against authorization hours.

Your full workday is dedicated to supporting students, staff, and effective behavior programming.

This position is ideal for a BCBA who loves the clinical side of ABA but is interested in transitioning into a school-based setting.

You’ll bring the individualized, data-driven approach of an ABA clinic into a school environment while working alongside a Special Education Teacher who brings expertise in curriculum, academics, IEP instruction, and educational programming.

Small caseload. Big impact.

Maximum school enrollment of just 8 students.

1:1 Instructional Assistant-to-student ratios.

The opportunity to know every student and their programming deeply.

Time to observe, analyze data, collaborate, coach staff, and make meaningful program changes.

What You’ll Do

Conduct Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) and develop individualized, evidence-based Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs) aligned with student IEPs.

Lead behavior programming, functional communication programming, and replacement-skill development.

Analyze behavioral data and make ongoing, data-driven modifications to programming.

Oversee treatment integrity and implementation of behavioral supports throughout the school day.

Provide hands‑on modeling, coaching, and feedback to Instructional Assistants and other school staff.

Support crisis prevention and response using trauma‑assumed, safety-focused practices.

Collaborate with the Special Education Teacher while maintaining distinct areas of expertise: the teacher leads academics and skill acquisition while the BCBA leads behavioral assessment and programming.

Participate in IEP development and interdisciplinary student planning.

Maintain documentation required by BACB, state, and school standards.

What We’re Looking For

Master’s degree and current BCBA certification.

2+ years of experience supporting children with autism, developmental disabilities, and/or significant behavioral needs (preferred)

Clinical ABA experience is welcomed — school-based experience is not required.

Strong skills in functional assessment, behavior intervention, data analysis, and staff coaching.

Interest in learning or expanding knowledge of IEPs and school-based service delivery.

Ability to collaborate closely with educators and related-service providers.

Calm, ethical, flexible, and compassionate approach to student behavior and staff support.

CPR certification or willingness to obtain.

If you’re a clinical BCBA who loves behavior analysis but is ready for a different pace, a school-day schedule, and the opportunity to focus deeply on behavior programming without billable requirements,

We offer a natural bridge between the clinical and educational worlds!
