What changes a BCBA offer in Michigan
- Michigan licenses behavior analysts through LARA.
- Setting: Center-based ABA clinics, In-home ABA, School districts and contracted school services price differently for the same credential.
- Caseload cap and billable or productivity target, which decide whether a bonus is real.
- Metro cost of living within the state; a city premium is not the same as a better offer.
- Scarcity: The single most requested role we recruit. Demand is heaviest in center-based and hybrid ABA across Texas, Florida, California, Arizona and the Carolinas, and strongest of all for BCBAs willing to carry a supervisory caseload.
Why we do not publish a MI average
We publish what we actually see advertised on roles we recruit. We do not hold a statistically valid state-level survey, so quoting a Michigan average would be guesswork dressed as data. For official state wage estimates, use the federal source and treat it as a floor for negotiation, not a target.
