Columbia, MD | Flexible Schedule | $80–$115 Hourly

Job Summary

Hello ABA is looking for a compassionate and skilled Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to join our team in Columbia, Maryland.

About Us

At Hello ABA, we’re on a mission to reimagine what compassionate, ethical, and neurodiversity-affirming behavior support can look like. Based in Maryland, we are a start-up powered by purpose. Providing exceptional care while fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and strength-based work culture. Our approach blends gold-standard behavior analysis with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), values-based interventions, and a deep commitment to ensuring each child feels happy, relaxed, and engaged because dignity and joy are not add-ons, they’re core outcomes. We take a play-based, NET-heavy approach, using natural, motivating routines and environments to build meaningful skills that generalize far beyond the therapy session.

Responsibilities

• Conduct functional behavior assessments and develop evidence-based, person-centered treatment plans.
• Incorporate ACT-based strategies to build psychological flexibility, emotional regulation, and values-driven action.
• Design and supervise strength-based, play-focused programming that centers client motivation and engagement.
• Utilize Natural Environment Teaching (NET) to support generalization, spontaneity, and joy in learning.
• Train and mentor RBTs to implement teaching strategies with warmth, attunement, and fidelity.
• Collaborate with families, schools, and community partners to support whole-child growth.
• Monitor progress through both data and observable indicators of well-being, especially the core markers of being happy, relaxed, and engaged.

Qualifications

• Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) certification required
• Maryland licensure or eligibility required
• Master’s degree in ABA, Psychology, Special Education, or related field
• Experience working with children with autism or developmental disabilities
• Strong communication, organizational, and clinical skills

Compensation and Schedule

• Competitive hourly pay ranging from $80 to $115
• Performance-based incentives available
• Full-time and part-time options
• Flexible scheduling with hybrid or limited remote opportunities

Benefits and Growth

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company matching
• Paid time off (even part-time), flexible holidays, and mental health days
• CEU and licensure reimbursement
• Monthly collaborative CEUs and mentorship opportunities with the entire team of BCBA's

How to Apply

If you are a BCBA looking for a fun, supportive, values-driven practice that prioritizes quality care and clinician well-being, we encourage you to apply.
