Why This Role Exists

Traditional BCBA roles burn you out with bloated caseloads, endless paperwork, and no clinical autonomy — you become a documentation machine instead of a clinician. KEBM built the BCBA Full-Time role around the opposite premise: reasonable caseloads, clinical authority over treatment decisions, mentorship of the supervisors and BCaBAs who report to you, and real operational support so you can do clinical work. You're a clinician, not a paper-pusher. If you've already lived the burnout version of this job, this one is structured so that won't happen here.

About Us

We're a five-clinic ABA therapy company with four locations across Southern California and one in Georgia, founded in 2016 by a BCBA with 25+ years in the field. Our team of 68+ professionals delivers evidence-based therapy through our proprietary S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. methodology — and our Sensory Spot locations prove that therapy can actually feel like play.

We serve every client who walks through our doors — insurance-funded, private pay, open play, and camp families alike. We're women-founded, minority-owned, and we don't sacrifice clinical quality for profit. If you want to work somewhere that's serious about outcomes and serious about its people, you're in the right place.

How S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. Work

S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. is our proprietary group ABA therapy methodology — a pod-based model where social skills, behavior intervention, and individualized goals are delivered inside a structured group dynamic. Here's how it works on the ground:

Each pod has 3 to 6 clients with varied diagnoses — autism, ADHD, ADD, Down syndrome, developmental delays — grouped by age, skill level, and goal alignment.

The facilitator-to-client ratio is 1:3 inside the pod.

A supervisor is always on-site, and clinical support is always available in your pod. Your on-site supervisor is a Program Supervisor, BCaBA, or BCBA, and they move between pods providing real-time coaching, oversight, and support for challenging behaviors. You are never figuring it out alone.

We use a push-in / pull-out model: group work happens inside the pod, and 1:1 intensive instruction pulls out when a client needs dedicated skill-building or behavior support.

BCBAs and Program Supervisors move between pods providing real-time coaching, clinical oversight, and support for challenging behaviors.

Who We Serve

KEBM serves every client who walks through our doors — no tiers, no priority treatment, no "real clients vs. drop-ins." That means:

Insurance-funded ABA clients (Medi-Cal, Medicare, commercial insurance)

Private pay therapy clients

Open play participants at our Sensory Spot locations

Camp participants — spring break, winter break, summer, and any seasonal KEBM camp

Consultation clients in adult residential and group home settings (Program Supervisor Master's level and above)

A camp kid gets the same quality of care as an insurance client. An open play family gets the same respect as a full-time ABA family. If that feels natural to you, you're going to fit here. If the idea of treating any of those clients as less-than bothers you, this isn't the place.

The Role — What You'll Actually Do

In this role, you'll:

Own your clinical caseload with full authority — FBAs, treatment plans, intervention design, progress evaluation, program modification. You're the clinician of record.

Supervise and mentor BCaBAs, Program Supervisors, and Program Supervisor Trainees — BACB-compliant supervision for certification-track candidates, with genuine mentorship baked in.

Contribute to KEBM's S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. methodology evolution — curriculum development, intervention refinement, clinical protocol updates. Your clinical voice is weighted at the program level, not just the caseload level.

Deliver direct clinical services on complex cases — crisis stabilization, high-fidelity modeling, specialized interventions. You're not too senior to be in session; you're senior enough to know when it matters.

Partner with families, schools, and external stakeholders — parent training, IEP meetings, interdisciplinary care coordination. The clinical face of KEBM to your families.

Participate in clinical strategy and quality improvement — program evaluation, outcome measurement, clinical audits. You're shaping how KEBM delivers care, not just delivering it.

In your first 90 days, success looks like:

Full caseload assigned and operating, supervisory relationships established with your assigned BCaBAs and Program Supervisors, integration with the CD's clinical rhythm, and first contribution to methodology or program-level refinement delivered.

Who You Are

You might be perfect for this if:

You hold your BCBA and you've had enough of the bloated-caseload, paperwork-burnout model — and you want to work somewhere that actually structures the BCBA role around clinical quality.

You want clinical authority and mentorship of your supervisors — you're not looking to be a solo practitioner, but you're also not looking to be micromanaged. The balance at KEBM is real clinical autonomy with real clinical peer support.

You want a clinical company, not a billing operation — that happens to employ clinicians. KEBM's structure reflects the priority of client outcomes over billable hours.

You're building toward BCBA Lead or Assistant Clinical Director — and the path at KEBM is documented, not implied.

Bonus points if you have:

5+ years post-BCBA clinical experience

Prior supervisory or clinical leadership experience

Specialized populations (early intervention, feeding, toileting, adolescent/adult)

Bilingual (Spanish)

LBA license in Georgia (for GA-based roles)
