Job Description
Elite ABA Therapy, LLC is an
outpatient behavioral health center that provides one-on-one center-based Intensive
Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) to children between the ages of 2 to 8 who
have been diagnosed with Autism and/or other developmental delays. We are
located in Wilkes-Barre Twp, PA and operate year-round. Our clinic hours are
Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. We are closed on all federal
holidays.
Elite ABA Therapy, LLC
specializes in providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services, which
are the most widely known evidence-based practices for teaching new skills and
improving behavior. Our goal is to optimize our clients’ independence and promote
social integration by teaching meaningful and socially significant skills in
the least restrictive environment. Our clinic is designed to simulate an Early
Intervention-like setting, but without academic curriculum. Teaching is
completely individualized and based on the client’s needs identified in their
treatment plan. Clients receive 1:1 individual services but are grouped with up
to 7 other children to simulate a classroom. Each group of children follow a
daily schedule of activities that include both individual and group formats.
Individual activities include direct instruction of skill acquisition programs
specified in the client’s individualized treatment plan, such as teaching
communication skills. Group activities include circle time, structured play
groups, and planned activities (music, arts and crafts, etc.) to work on social
skills and generalizing learned skills to group settings.
The clinic assistant/BHT floater role will incorporate different job duties each day depending on what role is needed that day. The primary role will be a clinic assistant (job duties specified below) paid at a rate of $15 per hour, but if there are staff call offs and a client needs coverage, there would be a pay differential, and the pay rate would increase to $18 per hour to cover as a Behavioral Health Technician with the client that day. When covering as a BHT, the typical hours would be 9-3:30. However, when working as a clinic assistant, the hours would be 10am to 2 pm.
