We don't just say a child is improving; we measure it and make it visible. Our STEP Score, family Report Cards, and other outcome tools give teams a shared view of progress so clinical decisions are backed by data and families can see meaningful movement.

You'll also use Power BI data to identify opportunities within your center — from makeups and unconverted hours to follow-ups and overall schedule performance.

One child, one plan, many minds.
BCBAs, SLPs, OTs, PTs, and mental health providers work the same cases, often co-treating, so a child's plan reflects the whole picture, not parallel services that never speak. As a Lead BCBA, you'll help model what strong interdisciplinary collaboration looks like and encourage the clinicians around you to use the full expertise of the team.

A real bridge to the classroom.
Our half-day Prep School supports children working toward a traditional classroom who still need 1:1 support. Your clinical work connects to a concrete next step in a child's life, inside a model most providers simply don't have.

Support the center beyong your caseload. 
Being a Lead BCBA means thinking about more than the clients on your schedule. You'll help identify opportunities to improve center operations, support makeups and unconverted hours, participate in family tours, and represent Gracent in marketing and community outreach efforts. You'll work alongside your Area Director to make sure families have a great experience from their first interaction with the center through their child's ongoing care.

How your schedule actually works.
Full-time, part-time, or reduced schedule, built around your life. A midday appointment doesn't cost you PTO; you work around it.
