Behavior Specialist

Straith Hospital
Southfield, MI Full Time
POSTED ON 4/17/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/13/2026

🚨 We’re Hiring: Behavior Specialist (Full-Time) | Hospital-Based Severe Behavior Program 🚨


Looking to build a meaningful career in ABA? This is not your typical behavior tech role.


At Straith Hospital, we’re growing Michigan’s first hospital-based Specialized Intervention for Severe Behavior Program, providing intensive, evidence-based care for children and young adults with autism who present with complex and severe challenging behavior.


This is an opportunity to gain hands-on clinical experience at the highest level of care, working directly alongside BCBAs and BCBA-Ds within a multidisciplinary hospital team.


🔍 What You’ll Do
  • Implement assessment and treatment procedures under BCBA supervision
  • Collect, graph, and help analyze real-time clinical data
  • Support functional assessments and individualized treatment plans
  • Assist with caregiver training and skill generalization
  • Contribute to a structured, team-based, data-driven clinical environment
🌱 Why This Role Stands Out
  • 🏥 Work in a hospital-based program (not dependent on client cancellations - guaranteed hours)
  • 📈 Receive direct supervision from BCBA-D level clinicians
  • 🎓 Opportunities for BCBA supervision, mentorship, and research experience
  • 🧠 Specialized training, including the Marcus Crisis Prevention Program
  • 🤝 Be part of a mission-driven team serving a high-need population
💡 Who Should Apply
  • Individuals with experience supporting those with developmental or behavioral challenges
  • Current or aspiring RBTs, BCBAs, or graduate students in ABA/psychology
  • Professionals who are resilient, compassionate, team-oriented, and eager to grow
🕒 Position Details
  • Full-time (M–F, 8:30am–4:30pm)
  • Guaranteed hours optional overtime/weekends


If you’re looking for a role where you’ll grow quickly, be challenged clinically, and make a real impact, we’d love to connect.
