Why ATC?
For 50 years, Autism Treatment Center of Texas has supported people with autism and their families through residential, school, and clinic-based services. We’re growing our clinic programs and looking for BCBAs who want to do clinically sound, family-centered work. Here, you can:

• Build treatment around the client, not a quota. We don’t require weekly hour minimums. Treatment intensity is based on clinical need.
• Serve clients across the lifespan. We have no age cap, so you’ll work with young children, teens, and adults.
• Take on meaningful cases. We have a long history of serving clients with complex needs that other providers turn away, and you’ll have the support to do it well.
• Work with families. Parent training and caregiver involvement are central to how we practice.
• Collaborate across disciplines. You’ll work alongside in-house speech and occupational therapists.

What you’ll do

• Conduct behavior assessments (FBAs, skills assessments) and develop individualized treatment plans, behavior intervention plans, and goals
• Oversee implementation across settings, monitor progress through data, and adjust programming as clients’ needs change
• Supervise and mentor RBTs and behavior technicians, including in-clinic modeling, competency checks, and ongoing training that meets BACB standards
• Lead parent and caregiver training, and partner with families on goals that matter at home and in the community
• Collaborate with speech, OT, and the wider clinical team on integrated care
• Complete progress reports, graphed data, and treatment plan updates on time and in line with payer requirements
• Run social skills groups and provide direct treatment when it’s clinically appropriate
• Practice in accordance with the BACB Ethics Code
