WHY THRIVE THERAPIES

BCBAs are rare, in-demand, and often burnt out — managing overwhelming caseloads, clinic schedules that don't fit school calendars, or isolated in districts where your clinical expertise is undervalued.

Thrive recognizes that exceptional behavior analysis in schools is transformational. We partner with forward-thinking districts that prioritize behavior-change outcomes, invest in RBT teams, and give BCBAs clinical autonomy and reasonable supervision ratios. You won't manage 100 students; you'll work with curated caseloads where your functional behavior assessments and behavior plans actually drive change. You'll supervise well-trained RBTs who collect reliable data — and have time for classroom consultation, staff training, and behavior systems development.

POSITION SUMMARY

As a School-Based BCBA, you lead behavior-change initiatives for students with autism spectrum disorder, emotional disturbance, and complex behavioral challenges. You conduct functional behavior assessments, design behavior intervention plans, supervise RBTs, manage clinical data systems, and collaborate with special education leadership to embed evidence-based behavior support across the school.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Conduct comprehensive functional behavior assessments (FBAs) including indirect assessment, direct observation, hypothesis development, and behavior function analysis

• Develop individualized, data-driven behavior intervention plans (BIPs) with measurable goals, evidence-based procedures, and ongoing progress monitoring protocols

• Supervise, train, and mentor RBTs: provide regular supervision meetings, review session data, ensure treatment fidelity, and support professional development

• Manage RBT-to-BCBA caseload ratios with clearly documented supervision protocols and data accountability

• Conduct staff training on ABA, behavior intervention implementation, crisis de-escalation, and positive classroom management

• Participate in IEP meetings: provide behavior assessment findings, present BIP recommendations, and monitor progress

• Contribute to school-wide positive behavior support (PBS) and MTSS framework development

WHY THRIVE THERAPIES

School-based OTs are fundamental to inclusive education, yet many practice in isolation, with insufficient time for collaboration and consultation. You're often pulled between direct service demands and the systems work that actually prevents deficits.

Thrive partners with districts that view occupational therapy as integral to school-wide accessibility. You'll work in environments where your expertise in fine motor, sensory integration, self-care, and environment adaptation is valued at the planning level — not just for individual IEPs. You'll have time for classroom consultation, collaborative activities design, and peer mentoring.
