Associate Behavior Therapist - Opportunities available throughout Massachusetts!

Company Description

Beacon ABA Services is a private group practice of behavior analysts and behavioral therapists organized to provide intensive behavioral services to individuals with developmental disabilities.

You might not know much about ABA yet - but the families we serve know exactly what it means to watch their child say their first word, make a friend, or brush their teeth independently. Beacon ABA Services has spent over 26 years working alongside families, Early Intervention programs, and school systems across Massachusetts to help young children with ASD reach their fullest potential. Our focus is families, our methods are evidence-based, and our culture is built on growth - yours and the children we serve.

Beacon is guided by a commitment to:

• Clinical Excellence - We use only evidence-based ABA practices and actively contribute to field research and training.
• Meaningful Partnership - We collaborate with families, schools, and early intervention teams to build skills that last.
• Professional Growth - We invest in our staff at every career stage, from first hire to BCBA and beyond.
• Inclusive Impact - We serve families across the Commonwealth in multiple languages, meeting children where they are.
