Associate Director - Board Certified Behavior Analyst

Co-owned by a BCBA & a parent of an autistic child. Built by clinicians and families—not private equity.

About Autism Care Plus (ACP)

Autism Care Plus is an ABA practice serving children and families across Colorado. We’re co-owned by a BCBA and a parent of an autistic child, so we actually understand both sides: clinical quality and real-life family needs.

We’re small enough to be human, big enough to be stable, and we don’t play games with caseloads, billable quotas, or bait-and-switch job descriptions.

What’s In It For You

• Compensation: $85,000–$100,000 (W-2), depending on experience
• Sign-on: $2,000 sign-on bonus
• Bonus: Monthly performance bonus tied to realistic goals
• Caseload: ~8–12 clients, with a hard cap and admin support
• Time: Protected supervision non-billable time (not just “if you can squeeze it in”)
• Benefits: PTO, holiday PTO, health benefits (if applicable), mileage for home/community
• Growth: Clear path into lead / Clinical Director responsibilities if you want leadership
• Flexibility: Primarily center-based in Colorado Springs with some home/community; limited hybrid option once caseload is stable and trust is built

If you’ve been burned by chaos, impossible caseloads, or “do everything” roles, this is intentionally not that.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

• Lead intakes and functional assessments; write practical, data-driven treatment plans
• Provide ongoing supervision and coaching for RBTs/BTs with scheduled supervision blocks
• Run parent/caregiver training focusing on realistic, sustainable strategies
• Collaborate with schools and other providers as needed
• Maintain timely, high-quality clinical documentation (within clear expectations)
• Partner with our Clinical Director on:
• client enrichment and programming quality
• staff growth and competency plans
• training, ethics, and compliance for your caseload

What This Job Is Not

• It’s not a “40–50 kid caseload” factory job
• It’s not a role where you’re on your own with no admin/scheduling support
• It’s not remote-only—this is a Boulder –anchored role with meaningful on-site presence

If you want to hide behind emails and never see the center, this won’t fit. If you want to actually shape a clinic and still have a life, it will.

You’ll Thrive Here If…

• You care about quality over volume
• You can set boundaries and appreciate a company that backs you when you do
• You like building systems, not just surviving in broken ones
• You’re okay being honest about what’s not working—and want leadership that listens

Requirements

• Master’s degree in ABA, psychology, education, or related field
• Active BCBA in good standing (or BCBA-D)
• Eligible for Colorado licensure, if applicable
• Comfortable with center home/community mix and some travel in the Springs area
• At least 1–2 years of BCBA experience preferred, but strong new BCBAs are welcome to apply
