What is an independent contractor BCBA?

An Independent Contractor BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) is a professional who provides behavior analysis services on a contract basis rather than as a full-time employee. They typically work with clients in various settings, such as homes, schools, or clinics, to assess behavior, develop treatment plans, and implement evidence-based interventions. Independent contractors have more flexibility in choosing their clients and setting their schedules but are responsible for managing their own taxes, insurance, and business expenses.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an independent contractor BCBA?

To thrive as an Independent Contractor BCBA, you need deep expertise in applied behavior analysis (ABA), a master's degree in a related field, and active BCBA certification. Familiarity with ABA data collection platforms, case management software, and electronic documentation systems is essential. Excellent communication, time management, and self-motivation are standout soft skills for this autonomous role. These skills and qualities ensure effective client outcomes, efficient caseload management, and strong collaboration with families and support teams.

What are some common challenges faced by independent contractor BCBAs and how can they be managed?

Independent Contractor BCBAs often navigate challenges such as managing a flexible but variable schedule, handling caseload diversity, and staying current with best practices in the field. To address these, strong organizational skills, clear communication with clients and support staff, and ongoing professional development are vital. Contractors also need to be proactive about networking and maintaining licensure or credentialing requirements. Balancing multiple clients independently can be rewarding, but it requires effective self-management and dedication to delivering consistent, evidence-based services.

Job description

Job Overview:

We are looking for 1-2 board-certified behavior analysts (BCBAs) in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Our in-home/community company is small, and we as BCBAs do all direct work (no RBTs to supervise!). This job posting is for a 1099/independent contractor position. If you have ever been interested in starting your own company but are unsure how to, this is the perfect jumping-off contract position!


Duties & Responsibilities:

  • Perform intakes and assessments; write treatment plans and authorization requests as required by insurers/funding sources
  • Provide 1:1 direct ABA services for children, teens, and young adults with autism and other developmental disabilities or neurodivergences
  • Support caregivers with family guidance/collaboration training
  • Submit session/progress notes as required by insurers/funding sources


What Social Cues brings to the table:

We are a disability-friendly company run by neurodivergent BCBAs. Our services are neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and assent-based.

As an independent contractor, you will be able to set your own schedule—no "billable hours" requirement! We offer community, support, resources, and free continuing education (CEUs). We can also help you set up your private ABA company if that is what you choose to do.

We can find clients for you (we have a waitlist). We will also take care of the administrative side of the business, so you can concentrate on doing what you do best: supporting autistic children and teens!


What YOU bring to the table:

  • board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA) (required)
  • licensed behavior analyst (LBA) in Virginia or willing and able to be licensed in VA before beginning work (required)
  • a valid VA business license OR the willingness and ability to obtain one (we can help direct you through this process) - as a 1099/independent contractor, you must be your own business
  • a clear background check


Benefits:

  • Continuing education credits
  • Flexible schedule
  • Professional development assistance


Work Location: In person
