Behavior Therapist - Fellow

• BCBA Candidate / Student Analyst - Paid Clinical Mentorship Opportunity
• Solara Autism Services | Seymour, Connecticut | Part-Time | In-Clinic
• Build Your BCBA Skills While Getting Paid!

Are you an RBT currently pursuing your BCBA certification? Ready to move beyond direct therapy and start developing the clinical skills you'll need as a future BCBA?

At Solara Autism Services, we believe the best future BCBAs are developed through meaningful mentorship, hands-on clinical experience, and opportunities to apply what they're learning in graduate school.

We're looking for a motivated, compassionate, and ambitious BCBA Candidate / Student Analyst to join our growing Seymour, Connecticut clinic.

This is more than a traditional RBT position. You'll provide direct ABA therapy while receiving dedicated, paid opportunities to develop your assessment, treatment planning, behavior analysis, and clinical decision-making skills under the guidance of experienced BCBAs.

What Makes This Opportunity Different?

3-5 Hours of Paid Indirect Clinical Experience Every Week!

In addition to your direct therapy hours, you'll have the opportunity to spend 3-5 paid hours per week developing the skills you'll need as a future BCBA.

Your Clinical Development Opportunities Will Include

Assessment Experience: Learn how to participate in initial assessments and reassessments, administer and score assessment tools under supervision, interpret results, and identify meaningful treatment priorities.

Treatment Plan Development: Gain hands-on experience writing individualized treatment goals, developing skill acquisition programs, and understanding medical necessity.

Behavior Intervention Planning: Learn how to conduct functional behavior assessments, analyze behavioral data, and assist with behavior intervention plan development.

Clinical Programming: Develop and revise teaching programs, select appropriate prompting strategies, and make data-informed treatment recommendations.

Data Analysis: Learn to interpret graphs, evaluate treatment effectiveness, and identify when programming modifications may be necessary.

Clinical Documentation: Develop professional writing skills through supervised practice with assessment reports, treatment plans, progress summaries, and clinical documentation.

BCBA Mentorship: Work directly with experienced BCBAs who provide clinical guidance, feedback, and opportunities for professional growth.

Our goal is to help you develop the confidence, clinical judgment, and practical experience needed to transition successfully from RBT to BCBA.

Qualifying supervised fieldwork activities and hours may count toward BACB fieldwork requirements when all applicable supervision, documentation, and eligibility requirements are met.
