Job description

  • You didn’t become a BCBA to push paper.
  • You became one because you want to change what’s possible for kids with autism.
  • In this role, you’re the person who starts that journey, the clinician who meets a family for the first time, sees the full picture, and builds the roadmap.
  • What you’ll actually do: As an Assessment Specialist, you’re the clinical starting point for every child we serve.
  • You conduct comprehensive evaluations, write individualized treatment plans, and make sure each child gets the right services from day one and the right adjustments as they grow.
  • You set the clinical direction for each child we serve.
  • Your assessment is the foundation everything else is built on — and HHF gives you the tools, the access, and the autonomy to do it right, fully remotely from your home.
  • Conduct initial and ongoing assessments using tools like Vineland, VB-MAPP, CFQL, and FBA to understand each child’s unique profile.
  • Build individualized treatment plans with targeted goals across communication, social, adaptive, and behavior reduction domains.
  • Develop preliminary Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs) so families and clinical teams hit the ground running.
  • Partner with BCBAs, Clinical Supervisors, and Clinic Directors to make sure your findings directly shape ongoing treatment.
  • Advocate for your clients through payer reviews, peer-to-peer conversations, and denial responses — you defend your clinical recommendations with confidence.
  • Collaborate with families to make sure what matters most to them is woven into every plan.
  • You’re a fit if… You hold an active BCBA certification and state licensure (where required).
  • Willingness to get state licensure across the HHF operating geography You have 3+ years in ABA as a BCBA (RBT experience does not count for newly certified BCBAs) You’re detail-oriented and deadline-driven — you know that a late auth is a gap in care.
  • You communicate well with families and colleagues alike — warm with caregivers, precise with clinical partners.
  • You’re collaborative by nature, not an island.
  • You want a team behind you, and you want to be part of theirs.
  • Ability to travel 1-2 times per year for company trainings/meetings ABOUT US Why HHF?
  • Helping Hands Family is a top-rated ABA provider built around one belief: every community deserves a helping hand.

  • We grow by opening clinics where kids need services most, and we protect clinical quality as we scale by setting intentional limits on clinic and caseload size.
  • When you join HHF, you join a team that gets better because it refuses to cut corners.
