Wondering where your BCBA career could go beyond autism intervention?
Let’s explore options that fit your interests and experience, and identify a practical first step.
You became a BCBA because you wanted to help people build better lives. But somewhere along the way, it may have started to feel like your only career option was autism intervention.
Maybe you’re tired of the clinic schedule or insurance requirements. Maybe you still care about the people you serve, but you can’t picture doing this exact work for another ten years. You’ve heard that BCBAs can work in other fields, yet no one has really shown you what those jobs look like or how to get started.
I’ve been there. I built a career in behavioral gerontology, community based services for teens and adults with disabilities, private practice, and health and fitness. My path wasn’t a single leap into something new. It grew as I learned what opportunities existed and took one step at a time.
That’s what we can do together in a consultation. We’ll talk about what you’re ready to leave behind, what kind of work interests you, and a practical first step you can take from where you are now. You don’t need a fully formed plan to book. Curiosity is enough.
Ready to explore what’s next for your BCBA career?
A consultation includes a 60-minute conversation focused on your interests, experience, and career options beyond autism intervention. Afterward, I’ll send you a personalized follow-up report with your next steps and relevant resources.
Consultations are $125. Fill out the short form below to tell me what you’d like to explore. I’ll review your request and reach out with the next steps for scheduling.
What to Expect
You don’t have to figure out your next career move alone. In a consultation, we’ll talk through what you’re interested in, how your BCBA skills could fit into other settings, and what it might take to explore a new direction. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of your options and a practical next step that fits where you are right now.
❋ Explore paths that fit your experienceWe’ll look at the populations, settings, and types of work that interest you, then connect them to the skills you already have as a BCBA. You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to do. We can start with what you’re curious about—or what you know you’re ready to move away from.
❋ See what it would take to get startedInterested in a particular area? We’ll talk through what the work actually involves, how your current experience applies, and where you may need more training, supervision, or hands-on experience before offering services. The goal is to help you explore a new direction responsibly, without feeling like you have to figure it all out alone.
❋ Consider ways to do the workBuilding a business is only one option. Depending on your goals, we can discuss roles with existing organizations, contract work, private-pay services, or other ways to gain experience. If funding is relevant to the path you’re considering, we can talk through questions to investigate there, too.
❋ Leave with a next step you can takeBy the end of our conversation, you’ll have a clearer direction and a practical first step that fits where you are now. I’ll also send a personalized follow-up report summarizing what we discussed, along with relevant resources when helpful. You’ll have something to refer back to after the call—not just a burst of motivation that disappears the next day.
