Why Join Our Team?
If you're committed to science- and data-based, very high quality, culturally sensitive, and highly individualized intervention that can only be achieved through small caseloads, close supervision, careful attention to detail, comprehensive assessment, ongoing mentorship, and thoroughgoing participation in a practice community dedicated to constant improvement, then we'd love to chat with you.
What do we value?
  • Excellence, which for us means doing things really well, in the service of doing what's best for people through ridiculously good, fast, and functional problem solving
  • Connectedness, Relationships & People as evidenced through building strong personal relationships, developing trust, knowing the people around us, and doing the work of the organization collaboratively
  • Making a Difference, which we achieve by (1) doing good for our clients, our colleagues, and our communities, and (2) taking data...in that order.
  • Diversity, in whatever way that shows up by including and welcoming anyone who shares these values, and we actively seek those people.

What's it Like to Work Here?
We recently asked members of our professional staff to write down the three words that came to mind when they thought about ORL. We're very proud that our behavior analysts find ORL to be a supportive, progressive, caring, high quality, data-focused, and thoughtful place to work.
We're very proud of the culture we've created and we take very seriously the task of continuing to cultivate it by attracting, retaining, and partnering with incredibly skilled people all dedicated to achieving common good in sometimes uncommon ways.
What's the compensation like?
Yes, we cover all "the basics" of a good compensation package including things like:
  • Competitive salaries, our senior career salaries range from about $75,000 per year to about $90,000 per year
  • Very small caseloads, our behavior analysts have caseloads of about 4 to 7 clients. Why? Well, because our staff need very small caseloads so that they can pay very, very close attention to what's happening with each of their clients and help ensure that those clients are making the most progress they happily can. Ensuring that you have a small caseload also helps us live our values of Excellence and Making a Difference.
  • Very reasonable weekly billable hour goals that ensure that you can actually get done the work you need to get done while also allowing you to do the other things you need to do to be a responsible scientist-practitioner.
  • Really good benefits including gold-level medical coverage, health savings accounts, dental & vision benefits, and an employer-matched retirement plan (that means that we chip in money to help make sure you're secure when you retire)
  • Generous paid time off that starts with at least two weeks paid time off each year and goes up to five and half weeks a year (and that's not including the paid holidays each year, including flex holiday time so that you can celebrate whatever occasions feel good to you)
  • Additional money to help you care for the people you love. Through our Dependent Care Benefit, our employees receive up to $600.00 each month--that's over $7,000 a year--in tax free money to help them take care of the people that depend on them like children and other dependent family members.
  • Ample technology to support you in your work. All staff are issued laptops and company phones. But in addition to that, we'll make sure you have whatever other technology you might need to make your work as easy as we can make it.
  • Subsidized professional development opportunities that you pick for yourself can include everything from participating in professional conferences, to webinars and podcasts. This also includes providing you with opportunities to earn free CEU's from within our practice community.

But, in addition to those things, we also strive so help you create a work environment that really works for you and respects all the other parts of your life and who you are. To help with that we offer things like:
  • Highly specialized clinical caseloads
    • We tie our intake process very closely to who on our professional staff has time in their schedules to serve another client. We don't admit clients based on a waiting list; instead, we admit clients based on how much the potential new client's needs overlap with the availability and clinical strength areas of the professional staff we have available.
  • Highly supportive clinical teams
    • Do you really value collaborating with others and working together on behalf of your clients? So do we. That's why we typically assign three different behavior analysts to each client's case. So, no matter which case you're working on you'll always have a team of highly skilled behavior analysts working on the case closely with you.
  • Very reasonable caseloads
    • Do you really care deeply about knowing each of your clients intimately? So do we. That's why we assign our professional staff the smallest caseloads of any ABA agency in the area. Our BCBA's typically have fewer than 4-7 clients on their caseloads at any one time. We think you'll do your best work when we give you the chance to really, really follow each one of your clients closely so that you can make sure they're getting what they need at all times.
  • Flexible work schedules
    • Would life work easier if you worked full time but compressed that into 4 days a week instead of 5? Fine. Let's talk about it. We can probably make that happen.
  • Flexible work locations
    • Would you prefer not to come into the office and instead to do some of your work at home? No problem.
    • Would you prefer not to work at home and instead come into our offices? Again, no problem. We maintain a very comfortable office space where you can work at a table around others, in a private space, or sit by a fire. (And we have plenty of pretty good coffee, juices, soft drinks, and snacks too.)

Our ability to serve our clients well, to do that work to the high level of quality we enjoy, and to create a community of smart people with diverse perspectives and overlapping--but also differing--perspectives depends completely on our ability to maintain long professional relationships with a wide range of smart, dedicated, people who are happy doing what
