Job description

• As a BCBA-owned organization, IABA believes clinical decisions should come from experienced behavior analysts - not a distant corporate structure.

You'll also complete assessments and authorizations, step in for caseload coverage when needed, and help shape the next generation of clinicians through case management and staff training.
• If you're ready to lead with purpose, mentor with intention, and make a lasting impact on the families you serve, we'd love to meet you.
