Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) - Greenbelt

Soar Autism Center is building a network of interdisciplinary clinics where children with autism and their families receive life‑shaping services that help them thrive. As we expand into the Maryland region, early team members will play a defining role in shaping how a Soar center operates locally. This includes experience from our work in Colorado and Arizona, and a recent joint venture with Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).

This is a ground‑floor opportunity to help shape how a Soar center operates locally, practice and learn clinical approach alongside leadership, and build a culture rooted in collaboration, high expectations, and meaningful impact. We support you with systems, training, and a clinical model that we have developed over time.
