Behavior Intervention Specialist or BCBA

AnthroMed Education is a top provider of Related Services to local schools in Illinois. Our services focus on providing the highest quality of care for students in schools and supporting them to reach their highest level of learning and personal development.

We are currently seeking two, dedicated and hard-working Behavior Intervention Specialists (BCBA) for one of our school partners in Villa Park, IL. The BCBA’s joining will be supporting district-wide. Each BCBA will represent half of the district and provide additional support to the School Social Workers and Psychologists already working in this District. The school is looking for BCBAs who are flexible and willing to help wherever it is needed, as there may be times when the BCBA will stay in one building for a week or two, depending on the needs of the students.

This is a brand-new program within the district and is a perfect opportunity for a BCBA to come in and make a lasting impact, along with growing further in their career, skillset, and knowledge.
