About FirstSteps
The FirstSteps Team is inspired by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential. To that end, our mission is twofold: to provide the best evidence-based, behavior analytic treatment to our children diagnosed with autism and related learning differences, and to offer a positive, collaborative, and dynamic work experience for our team. We are steadfastly committed to ongoing training and mentorship of our employees, always motivated to support the next generation of clinical leaders in our field and at FirstSteps. Our greatest reward is witnessing the rapid and joyful learning of our little ones and knowing that together, we are creating more happy days for the kids and families we serve.
You became a BCBA to change children's lives, support families, mentor clinicians, and practice thoughtfully and compassionately.
At FirstSteps, you can.
We're a privately owned, clinician-led organization committed to exceptional care for children and meaningful careers for clinicians.
Clinical work comes first. Our Program Directors typically support 12–14 children and lead a clinical team of 7–12 RBTs, giving you the time to stay close to the work that matters.
Instead, you'll find thoughtful supervision, strong relationships, clinical autonomy, and a team invested in your growth.
$85,000–$95,000 + clinical performance incentives
If you're looking for a place where clinical work comes first, relationships matter, and clinicians are supported to do their best work, we'd love to meet you.
