What are the responsibilities and job description for the Clinical Content Advisor, Autism & Neurodivergent Care position at Hopscotch?
We are a healthcare software company committed to empowering professionals who deliver care to neurodivergent children and teens through evidence-based, neurodiversity-affirming, and engaging content. We're seeking a Clinical Advisor to help shape and elevate the clinical content we deliver to the range of providers who support autistic and neurodivergent young people — including psychologists, developmental specialists, mental health clinicians and BCBAs.
In this part-time contractor role, you'll partner closely with our Head of Content to ensure everything we produce is clinically sound, affirming of neurodivergent identities, and genuinely useful at the practitioner level.
Responsibilities
- Review & approve content — Evaluate existing training materials, interactive content, and activities for clinical accuracy, practical applicability, and alignment with neurodiversity-affirming, assent-based principles.
- Shape curriculum strategy — Advise the Head of Content on content gaps, emerging best practices across disciplines, and how to sequence learning for practitioners at various experience levels and from various professional backgrounds.
- Serve as clinical SME — Act as a subject matter expert in cross-functional conversations to ensure clinical integrity and affirming practice are maintained across product and content decisions.
- Center autistic and neurodivergent voices — Help ensure content reflects the perspectives, preferences, and priorities of autistic people and their families — not only provider frameworks.
- Stay current — Monitor developments in autism and neurodivergence research, interdisciplinary clinical practice, neurodiversity-affirming approaches, and relevant regulatory or ethical updates to keep our content ahead of the field.
Credentials
- Active credential in a clinical or allied health field that serves autistic and neurodivergent children — for example, licensed psychologist, LMFT, LCSW, LMHC, BCBA/BCBA-D, or equivalent. Candidates from any of these backgrounds are welcome; we care more about depth of relevant experience than a specific license type.
- Minimum 3–5 years of direct clinical experience working with autistic and/or neurodivergent children and their families.
- Demonstrated commitment to neurodiversity-affirming and assent-based practice — this is core to the role, not a nice-to-have.
- Comfort working across disciplines and speaking to practitioners from professional backgrounds different from your own.
- Experience supervising, mentoring, or training other clinicians is strongly preferred.
- Strong written communication skills, with the ability to translate clinical concepts for a practitioner audience.
- Prior experience in content development, curriculum design, or clinical education is a plus.
- Comfortable working independently in a remote role with asynchronous collaboration.
