Somewhere Over the Spectrum is a holistic Autism Center with 2 locations in Berlin, CT with a very unique and individualized approach to Autism Services. We are looking to add full time BCBA to our team that is just as unique and holistic as our approach. Finding the best fit for our company is of the utmost importance, so we do want to take time to build a relationship and ensure that our intentions and approach align.

Somewhere Over the Spectrum offers a variety of different programs, one being our Center-Based Early Childhood Autism Program for children ages 16 months to 6 years of age, in which children are immersed in a naturalistic environment that mirrors that which they would encounter in a typical preschool or Kindergarten. Children participate alongside their peers in circle time and exploratory centers and more in their daily schedule, with their ABA Therapist by their side. We have enclosed outdoor areas filled with sensory materials and imaginative play equipment, as well as an indoor movement areas to support our children’s sensory and developmental needs.

Our Intensive In-Community Program provides support to our clients to be able to confidently and successfully navigate their home and community with a greater sense of belonging, purpose, and independence. Community settings can include, but are not limited to, preschools, daycare centers, private schools, homeschool and homeschool groups.

Our BCBA’s have a variety of different cases from both of our intensive therapeutic programs to promote and assure a wide range of skills and involvement with our clients and families. Our entire team embraces and builds on the fundamental and clinical principles of ABA, embedded with naturalistic and child-led learning methods to foster success and development for our children and families. Full-time positions are Monday through Friday with a majority of the position focused on the daytime hours (8:00-4:00) with 1-2 later afternoon/evenings at most per week.

This is a great opportunity for a new BCBA who is looking for a a great deal of support and growth, in addition to an evolution in their skillset as a new clinician. This is also a great opportunity for a BCBA who has been in the field, but is looking for a different and evolved way to go about their profession in a more holistic and natural manner. We offer a manageable caseload, bi-weekly meetings with the Directors, beautiful well-outfitted centers, work-life balance, administrative support with most aspects of the position so that you can focus on supporting your clients and therapists, and an encouraging, positive, client-centered ecosystem.
