Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)

Make a Difference. Build Relationships. Grow With Us.

At Step by Step Programs & Services (SBS), we believe meaningful progress begins with meaningful relationships. For more than 28 years, SBS has been dedicated to supporting children, teens, adults, and families through compassionate, individualized services that recognize the whole person—not just a diagnosis.

Our approach brings together Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Floortime/EDU-Ther-a-Play, social-emotional development, and family-centered care to help the individuals we serve build meaningful skills, stronger relationships, confidence, and greater independence.

We are looking for a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who wants to do more than oversee programs. We want someone who values collaboration, creativity, family involvement, and the opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of the people we serve.

Why Work at SBS?

At SBS, you will be part of a team that values:

• Relationships over a one-size-fits-all approach
• Person-centered and family-centered services
• Collaboration between BCBAs, therapists, families, and other professionals
• Supporting the whole individual, including communication, social-emotional development, independence, and quality of life
• A positive, supportive environment where clinical ideas and creativity are encouraged
• Continued professional growth and opportunities to develop your leadership skills
• Making services meaningful, engaging, and relevant to each individual's everyday life

We believe great clinical work happens when professionals feel supported, respected, and connected to the mission of the organization.

The SBS Difference

At SBS, we don't believe progress is defined only by data points. Data is important—but so are relationships, confidence, communication, connection, and the ability to participate meaningfully in everyday life.

Our goal is to create an environment where individuals can learn, grow, connect, and thrive, while giving families the tools and support they need along the way.

If you are a BCBA who wants to be part of a team that values compassion, collaboration, clinical excellence, creativity, and meaningful relationships, we'd love to hear from you.
