Why ABA SHINE
We’re a small, BCBA woman-owned Bay Area agency building supportive, sane workloads for clinicians. We focus on early intervention using ABA principles to teach all 5 verbal operant i, and our Behavior Respite program is also staffed by trained RBTs/BTs and supervised by BCBAs and mid-level, who focus on safety, stability, and family quality of life—with lighter documentation than insurance-funded ABA and predictable, family-friendly schedules.
What BCBAs love here
-
Manageable caseloads (primarily respite cases; or parent training sessions-limited treatment hours)
-
Hybrid flexibility (remote report writing/admin; field for trainings/overlaps)
-
Paid drive time mileage and paid documentation
-
CEU stipend ($500 (PT)–$1,000 (FT)) paid BACB fees
-
Clinical autonomy & strong ops support (scheduling, authorizations, payroll handled centrally)
-
Growth paths: Lead BCBA, training lead, QA, or program development
-
Work you can feel good about: stabilize homes, prevent placement disruptions, and mentor early-career techs
