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.

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
