WHAT MAKES CORTICA DIFFERENT FROM OTHER ABA COMPANIES?

At Cortica, we believe in going beyond traditional ABA practices to offer a more comprehensive, patient-centered approach that is different from other ABA companies:

• A Transdisciplinary Approach to Care: Unlike many ABA companies that focus solely on behavior therapy, Cortica offers a holistic, multidisciplinary model of care. Our team includes experts from a wide range of fields—occupational therapy, speech pathology, pediatrics, and more—allowing us to address the whole child and deliver more integrated, effective care.
• Focus on Collaboration: At Cortica, we don’t just implement therapy—we collaborate with families, caregivers, and other clinicians to create individualized care plans that empower everyone involved. This approach ensures that each child’s unique needs are met, and that the entire team is aligned in their goals for success.
• Quality Over Quantity: We take pride in value-based care partnerships with health plans that prioritize quality over quantity. Our patients benefit from the time we dedicate to collaborative, integrated care, and our clinicians are supported with more time for thoughtful clinical decision-making. Unlike other providers, we are reimbursed based on outcomes, not just the number of sessions delivered.

By joining Cortica, you’ll be part of a team that’s redefining ABA therapy—combining compassion, innovation, and collaboration to deliver results that matter.

YOUR ROLE AND IMPACT

As a BCBA at Cortica, you’ll play a pivotal role in overseeing neurodiversity-affirming clinical programming for patients receiving ABA treatment. You’ll lead a team of behavior technicians (BTs), empowering them to make a lasting difference in the lives of children with developmental differences.

WHAT YOU’LL LOVE ABOUT THIS ROLE:

• Achievable Targets: You’ll average 26 billable hours per week, with reduced targets during shorter weeks to ensure a manageable workload.

• Growth and Advancement Opportunities: You’ll have the chance to advance through BCBA levels I, II, III, and IV, increasing your leadership impact along the way. At BCBA levels III and IV, productivity targets are reduced to 22, allowing you to focus on developing leadership skills, cultivating other talents, and exploring broader professional interests.
• Autonomy over Your Schedule: You’ll have full control over when and where you supervise your cases, empowering you to design a schedule that works for you.
• Administrative Support: Focus on what you do best—clinical care—while our dedicated team handles scheduling, billing, and credentialing, leaving you with more time to focus on your work and patients.
