  • General knowledge and experience in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis and Autism Spectrum Disorder

  • High level of confidentiality and excellent organizational skills
  • Bilingual, able to deliver services and communicate with families in both Spanish and English
  • Openness to adopting new clinical technology and workflows as the practice transitions into FronteraCare
