April ABA is not your typical start-up. We are a clinician-operated, clinician-owned, female, and veteran-run organization whose mission is to support clinical systems so clinicians can focus on what's important: providing strong clinical care to individuals with autism.

We are looking for a well-rounded BCBA who exhibits progressive views in providing behavior analytic services, can work collaboratively with other clinicians and non-clinicians, and shares in our primary value of protecting ABA services for our field and the betterment of our clients.

What you can expect:

  • Staff are held accountable for the variables that are truly in their control
• PTO means PTO. Billable hours are prorated during PTO and holidays.
• Transparency with caseload decisions.
  • Our unique caseload structure assigns cases based on a combination of diagnostic, environmental, and family variables.
  • Caseloads are adjusted up when clients make progress according to our system and are adjusted down if these variables increase. The decision to adjust caseloads is a collaborative decision between clinician and supervisor.
  • Clinicians will always be able to prepare for changes in their caseload based on our system, never exceeding 25 hours per week.
• Clinical growth opportunities. We have strong connections with leaders in the field who provide continuing education to our staff.
