About the job
CABA (The Center for Applied Behavior Analysis) isn’t run by investors or people who’ve never done the work. It’s led by Dr. Rachel Taylor, a nationally recognized leader in ABA known for her radical candor, loyalty to her team, and relentless push for ethical, client-centered care.
We serve clients across the lifespan with a strong focus on older children, teens, and adults navigating complex needs like autism, bipolar disorder, and co-occurring mental health diagnoses.
At CABA, you're not flying solo. You’ll have access to the BOSS® program (Behavioral Operational Support Specialists), providing real-time, executive-level clinical support for troubleshooting tough cases, collaborating on decisions, and helping you stay focused on what you do best. Caseloads are capped and built intentionally, not dumped.
Why BCBAs Choose CABA
You’ve invested significant time, money, and energy into becoming a BCBA®. We’ve built a role that respects that investment with clear boundaries, reliable support, and real opportunities to grow.
