BCBA Careers
Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) at Action Behavior Centers provide evidence-based applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy in a supportive, collaborative environment. With intentionally small caseloads and a strong clinical culture, our BCBAs receive the tools, mentorship, and benefits they need to thrive at every stage in their careers.
ABC is such an amazing place to hone your behavior analytic skills as a BCBA because you have such a small team of patients.

Why BCBAs choose Action Behavior Centers
Smaller caseloads = bigger impact
Our BCBAs manage an average caseload of six children, with a maximum of eight. Each BCBA is supported by a dedicated team of nine Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). Smaller caseloads allow for more individualized care, more meaningful collaboration, and better outcomes for the children we serve.
