Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) — Pediatric, Per-Diem | Bergen Beach, Brooklyn

Company Description

Behaviors of NYC is an owner-operated ABA therapy agency founded by Daniela Climaco, M.A., BCBA. We provide personalized, one-on-one therapy — including ABA, speech, and related services — to children on the autism spectrum and their families across NYC and Long Island.

What makes us different: we cluster cases by ZIP so our clinicians don't burn out commuting, we pay above market, and clinical questions go to a clinician, not HR. We're built by therapists, for therapists, in service of families who deserve real support — not drive-by therapy.

Role Description

Behaviors of NYC is hiring an experienced Speech-Language Pathologist for a pediatric per-diem case in Bergen Beach, Brooklyn. This is a part-time, on-site, in-home role ideal for an SLP anchoring or expanding a per-diem schedule.

The Client

A 9-year-old boy on the autism spectrum with emerging receptive and expressive language skills. He benefits from structured, multi-disciplinary support.

Important — please read before applying: This client presents with significant behavioral challenges, including aggression and self-injurious behaviors (SIB). We need an SLP who has worked alongside behavioral teams (BCBA/RBT) and is comfortable in structured therapy sessions where behavioral support is part of the environment. If that's not your strength, this role isn't the right fit — and that's okay.
