ABA Therapist - Wilmington, DE

Step into a pivotal role supporting students and school staff as a dedicated behavior specialist for the upcoming school year. This full-time contract opportunity (37.5 hours weekly) offers the chance to utilize and refine your expertise in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) within a collaborative educational environment serving elementary, middle, and high school levels in the Wilmington, DE area.

As a Building Support Specialist (BSS), you’ll function in a dynamic position—akin to a BCBA assistant or apprentice—providing vital building-level guidance and support.

Key Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Psychology, Education, Special Education, Applied Behavior Analysis, or a closely related field
• Strong applied knowledge of ABA principles and best practices
• Delaware Department of Education Instructional Paraprofessional Permit required
• Experience with K-12 behavioral students in special education is highly advantageous
• Capable of working independently and managing diverse responsibilities

Primary Responsibilities:

• Collaborate closely with school psychologists in designing behavioral interventions and strategies for students
• Provide training, consultation, and model evidence-based behavior strategies for classroom staff
• Conduct Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA) and develop robust Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs)
• Employ data-driven approaches to assessment, intervention, and progress monitoring
• Attend IEP meetings and consult with parents, psychologists, and BCBAs
• Deliver crisis support to students when needed

This position offers rich opportunities for professional growth and the satisfaction of making a profound impact within the school community. If you excel at building relationships, enjoy coaching others, and are passionate about supporting student success through evidence-based behavior practices, submit your application today and take the next step in your professional journey.
