The Teaching Hospital Model

Not another ABA provider. A place where clinicians actually grow.

Most ABA providers deploy clinicians. Bierman develops them. The Teaching Hospital model means mentorship is structured, learning is expected, and the systems here are designed to build clinical judgment, not just fill sessions.

Mentorship is structured, not optional

Team Leads, Clinical Directors, and BCBAs provide real-time coaching in the room, not from a distance.

Progress is visible every day

Daily measurement means you always know whether something is working, and you have the data to act on it.

Standards are high because outcomes matter

This is a high-expectations environment with the support infrastructure to match.

"Progress is visible. I'm not guessing whether something is working."

Dr. Chrissy Barosky, BCBA-D, Chief Clinical Officer

Development Ecosystem

Built to develop you. Not just employ you.

These aren’t perks. They’re how we operate. Every program is part of a connected system designed to help clinicians grow from day one.

How you're supported, day to day

The conditions that make great clinical work possible.

Caseloads, supervision, and pacing aren’t afterthoughts here. They’re deliberate design choices that protect quality and protect clinicians.

7
Maximum caseload per clinician
Capped below the BACB's recommendation of 12. Designed to protect attention and clinical quality.
87%
Clinical supervision onsite
Not remote. In-center oversight means quality is protected in the moment, not reviewed after the fact.
3–5 days
Goal review cadence
Programming decisions happen every 3 to 5 days. You'll never wait months to find out whether something is working.
