Job Description

Easterseals Southern California is a renowned non-profit organization dedicated to transforming lives and championing inclusion and independence for over a century. Serving more than 29,000 individuals annually, Easterseals provides essential services such as early childhood programs, autism services, employment support, and independent living assistance. Their mission focuses on breaking barriers and creating opportunities for individuals with disabilities, particularly the one-in-four Americans living with disabilities. With a strong commitment to advocacy, education, and delivering quality services, Easterseals Southern California has established itself as a leader in supporting individuals and families affected by disabilities throughout the region.

The position available is for a specialized role under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) such as an Associate Clinical Supervisor, Clinical Supervisor, or Regional Clinical Director. This role entails a mix of program management and direct behavioral intervention services for individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other related disabilities. The candidate will collaborate closely with BCBAs and Behavior Interventionists to develop and execute intervention plans, conduct assessments, and handle program documentation effectively. This is a full-time position with a starting salary of $70,304 per year.

In this role, the successful candidate will provide program oversight by supervising Behavior Interventionists to ensure accurate data collection and adherence to evidence-based practices. They will maintain program records and regularly conduct data reliability and fidelity checks to ensure high standards in service delivery. This position demands a strong understanding of ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) methodologies such as Pivotal Response Training (PRT), Natural Environment Teaching (NET), and the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS). Moreover, the candidate will be involved in leading monthly progress meetings with families to discuss intervention outcomes and update treatment plans.

A crucial part of the job includes delivering specific intervention activities, parent education, and monitoring skill acquisition in both children and adults in natural environments. The role also requires meticulous documentation, including evaluations, treatment notes, progress reports, and exit summaries. Continuous professional development and staying updated with current research findings in autism and special education are essential to ensure the delivery of cutting-edge interventions.

Additionally, the candidate will provide ongoing competency-based training to staff, participate actively in staff meetings and in-services, and maintain excellent communication with families, responding promptly to concerns and needs. They must demonstrate strong clinical, administrative, and leadership abilities, coupled with excellent judgment, decision-making skills, and professionalism. This role requires someone dedicated to fostering positive relationships with participants and their families while maintaining a high level of confidentiality and discretion.

Overall, this position offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals with autism and other disabilities. It requires a compassionate, knowledgeable, and skilled professional who is committed to advancing the mission of Easterseals Southern California through specialized behavioral services and program management.
