Clinician in Training in Warwick, Rhode Island at Bierman Autism Centers

We’re building ‘the’ Teaching Hospital for pediatric therapy — a category of one by driving excellence in outcomes, developing clinicians, building payer trust, and embedding systems across what we do.

Bierman Autism Centers is looking for a full-time & center-based Clinician in Training to join a motivated and energetic team focused on transforming the lives of children diagnosed with autism while building a fun and creative culture at work. Every little detail of your work adds up to something that will amaze you. You will be committed and focused on helping parents and their child grow on their terms. You will constantly challenge yourself to gain new skills, try new methods and adapt to be better to help each child. Our one-on-one approach is focused on natural play to teach foundational skills our kids can build on, such as self-advocacy and communication. Every child’s success is unique! We continually challenge ourselves to do anything it takes to enable our kids to reach their potential on their terms.

The Details:

Our centers are open Monday-Friday between the hours of 8am – 5pm. We primarily work with children between the ages of 2-9 in a center-based environment.

The Clinician in Training is an entry level Behavior Analyst role that is designed to give the candidate a hands-on training experience by pairing them with an experienced BCBA who will serve as their mentor as they go through the CiT Training sequence. The CiT has a primary responsibility to accelerate client success through responsibilities delegated by their assigned BCBA mentor. By sharing a caseload and pod, the mentor BCBA will serve as a model as the CiT learns all of the responsibilities and tasks that they would need to complete as a Behavior Analyst.

Training Timeline

• Phase 1: shadowing and completing assigned non-billable tasks. Mentor BA models team training and once CiT tests with appropriate fidelity they can also take over team training outside of consult overlap time.
• Phase 2: Mentor BA models and tests probing programming targets, conducting assessments, and making programming changes. Mentor BA starts to delegate non-billable consult time dedicated to both team training and programming updates.
• Phase 3: Mentor BA overlaps as CiT starts to run the consults independently.

Fun and Challenging Responsibilities for our Clinicians in Training:

• Share a caseload with an experienced BA in the center who serves as a mentor and coach
• Assist with the PS tasks related to shared clients
  • Create materials for learners on caseload (after completion of MRS training)
  • Assist in the maintenance and organization of the therapy materials for learners on caseload
• Assist with CST for new hires who will be entering pod as assigned by BCBA
• Assist with BIC’s as assigned by BCBA
• Assist with ongoing integrity checks and training BTs on new programming implemented by BCBA
• Assists with the completion of monthly progress reports

Our Story: A Legacy of Progress, Fueled by Play

In 2006, Bierman Autism Centers began with a simple dream: to empower children with autism to thrive. We believed in the power of letting kids be kids and initially offered in-home care to foster a comforting and familiar environment.

We were driven by three core beliefs: achieving remarkable progress with children, creating a great team that enjoys working together, and building a workplace that fosters internal career paths and growth for our team members.

Our dedication to progress led us to a pivotal moment. Recognizing the potential of center-based care, we opened our first center in Indiana in 2010. This wasn’t just about location; it shifted our philosophy. Centers allowed us to create consistent, nurturing environments tailored to each child’s needs.

This shift became the cornerstone of our success. Today, Bierman Autism Centers are beacons of innovative care across Arizona, Indiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, and Rhode Island. We offer ABA therapy, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Diagnostic Services within center-based settings designed for the comprehensive development of our children.
