Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) - Early Intervention Center-Based

Life Skills Autism Academy is a center-based therapy program focusing on children ages 2-6 who need Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention. Our mission is to help children living with autism write their own success stories.

A Supervising Clinician at Centria is somebody who not only believes in the core clinical values we hold as a company, but also respects the values of our clients. They are practicing Applied Behavioral Analysis in a way that is aligned with our Foundations of Care and is assent-based to our clients. The Supervising Clinician will oversee ABA Therapy and provide proper guidance to our Behavior Technicians to ensure our clinical standards are being met.

Why BCBAs Practice at Centria

Our Foundations of Care model centers around our clients and ensures individualized care through assent-based care, via Practical Functional Assessment & Skills-Based Treatment (PFA-SBT) as well as Universal Protocols. Centria’s Clinical Leadership Team places emphasis on clinical quality, which is reflected in every aspect of the organization.

We have multiple layers of clinical support ranging from local leadership, Area Clinical Directors, and Area Vice Presidents. Our Dyad model allows you to focus exclusively on clinical services, fully eliminating operational tasks from your workload (no more scheduling!).
