About us:

The Speech and Language Center is currently seeking a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to add to our ABA team at our new location in downtown Harrisonburg. Join our team of pediatric professionals whose goal is to support children and their families in reaching goals and building positive skills and behaviors in the most meaningful and motivating ways. We currently offer ABA, OT, and Speech Therapy services through in-person office services and telehealth as needed. We are a part of the Cicero network of therapy providers, which means we are proud to have the support and mentorship of many leading therapy providers across the eastern U.S.

Our ABA team at the Speech and Language Center is proud to provide care to children with diverse needs in a way that is safe, dignified, and meaningful, not only to the child but to their family. We implement Today's ABA for our treatment goals and therapy facilitation. From the start, we work with families to establish goals and a treatment plan that can focus on a child’s interests and strengths, as we have learned that this is the best way to decrease behaviors that are unsafe or disruptive to a child’s daily life. Our BCBAs frequently target skills and goals in a naturally-led or play-based environment, capitalizing on what a child wants to do and being flexible and creative from there! We monitor progress frequently and problem solve as needed to ensure that each child is given the individualized tools and support to increase their happiness and success. Our collaborative model allows therapists of all disciplines to work alongside each other to provide comprehensive and holistic care so that children can communicate, engage, and play without disruptive behaviors. Continue your BCBA career with The Speech and Language Center!
