BCBA

About the Role

Opus ABA is growing and looking for a BCBA to join our team in Aberdeen, SD. You'll provide clinical oversight, design treatment plans, and help shape how we deliver compassionate, evidence-based ABA services to families in northeast South Dakota.

This role offers flexible scheduling and the opportunity to grow with a practice that values clinical autonomy and quality over quantity.

What You'll Do

• Provide clinical oversight for ABA services and sign off on treatment plans
• Conduct comprehensive behavioral assessments (VB-MAPP, ABLLS-R, AFLS, etc.)
• Design and implement individualized treatment plans based on each child's unique strengths and needs
• Help recruit, train, and supervise RBTs as the caseload grows
• Deliver parent training and collaborate with families on goals and progress
• Analyze data to guide treatment decisions and make ongoing plan adjustments
• Participate in insurance credentialing and Medicaid enrollment alongside the founder
• Work directly with the founder on clinical direction, case planning, and practice growth
• Maintain compliance with insurance requirements, BACB guidelines, and ethical standards
• Coordinate with schools, pediatricians, and other providers when appropriate

What We're Looking For

• Active BCBA certification in good standing with the BACB
• Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, Education, or related field
• Individual NPI number
• South Dakota ABA licensure (or willingness to obtain — costs covered by Opus ABA)
• Experience providing ABA therapy to children with autism spectrum disorder
• Strong clinical judgment and ability to work independently
• Excellent communication skills with families, team members, and other providers
• Compassionate, patient-centered approach to care
• Reliable transportation for in-home service delivery
• Comfort working in a startup environment where you'll wear multiple hats early on

Preferred Qualifications

• 2+ years of clinical experience as a BCBA (new BCBAs welcome with strong fieldwork experience)
• Experience with early intervention (ages 2-6)
• Supervision experience with RBTs
• Familiarity with insurance authorization processes (Medicaid, BCBS, etc.)
• Experience with telehealth or hybrid service delivery models

Why Opus ABA?

You make the treatment decisions — no corporate playbook. You'll have a manageable caseload, clinical autonomy, and work directly with a founder who listens. We built Opus to bring high-quality ABA services to families who've been waiting too long — and to give clinicians a better place to practice.
