ABA and autism services

For candidates

What the work is like

• Center-based work gives structure, peer supervision and predictable hours
• In-home work gives autonomy and family contact, with drive time as the trade-off
• Ask about supervision ratio, billable expectations and how cancellations are handled
• Progression from BT to RBT to BCaBA to BCBA is real at providers who fund it

For employers

The hiring reality

• BCBA supply has not kept pace with clinic openings; the constraint on growth is supervision capacity, not referrals
• RBT attrition drives most of the cost, and most of it is avoidable through guaranteed hours and paid drive time
• Payer mix and authorization pressure shape caseload expectations, so candidates screen for them early
• Candidates increasingly ask about ethical caseload caps before salary
