At Willow ABA, we want our employees to know they are secure, significant, and accepted. We understand the world of ABA can get overwhelming, especially for someone who is exposed to it for the first time. As a Willow employee, you will be supported throughout the learning process. We recognize that not all people learn the same way, so much of your training will be individualized to ensure you understand your job prior to being expected to be independent.
Just like we teach our clients to accept differences, we also encourage our staff to embrace theirs. Your differences are not only welcomed, but they are needed.
We don’t want this to be just a 9-5 job for you. We want you to continue to grow, learn, and find your passion. When you become a part of the Willow family, you will be cross-trained to capitalize on your individual skills and interests by designing new roles and interests that fit your passions.
Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA):
Our in-house ACE providers are committed to maintaining continuing education (CEUs) for our BCBAs on staff. Additionally, because Willow ABA supervisors are mostly in the clinic, collaboration and continued oversight is provided for consistent investment in the individuals who create programs for our clients.
In-Home Director (BCBA):
This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of our ABA services and guide a dedicated team of RBTs and BCBAs. Our commitment to ethical and responsible growth means we prioritize doing what's right for our clients and our team, ensuring that as we expand, we uphold the highest standards of care and integrity. The In-Home Director will be key in laying the foundation for in-home clients to move to Center-Based services as we grow into new communities.
Registered Behavior Technician:
We invest in our one-to-one direct staff (RBTs, or Registered Behavior Technicians) by providing them with a 40-hour training prior to taking their test for RBT credentialing. We also provide our RBTs with extensive 1:1 training on individual students as well as a list of competencies to pass prior to being approved to work with each client independently. Similarly, we provide ongoing and consistent supervision in which our BCBAs provide feedback and training on treatment protocols and individualized programming. Per the BACB’s recommendation, we evaluate the level of need for BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analysis) oversight for each client, and we stick to our clinical recommendations to ensure programming is implemented to fidelity, meaning the hours our clients receive services are as efficient as possible.
Lead Registered Behavior Technician:
We provide oversight and supervision to the RBTs who are working to become clinical supervisors (BCBAs, or Board Certified Behavior Analysts). Individuals working to become BCBAs must have completed or be actively enrolled in a related master’s program. LRBTs are required to have up to 1500 hours of independent fieldwork experience with 5% oversight provided by a current BCBA. We provide high-quality oversight including assignments that match course-work, collaboration with multiple supervisors, and comprehensive test preparation.
