Research and Innovation with PEBBL

Research is not something that happens in a separate lab. Bierman has built it into the way therapy is delivered every day. Through PEBBL (Progress through Evidence-Based Behavior Lab), clinicians collaborate with leaders and researchers to test, measure, and improve interventions.

  • Practice-Embedded Research: Every therapy session provides insights that help move the field forward.
  • Your Voice Matters: Clinicians share ideas and observations that shape ongoing projects.
  • Publish and Present: Opportunities to co-author papers and share findings at professional conferences.
  • Innovation in Action: From pilots to new data tools, you can take part in projects shaping the future of ABA.

This approach means you are not only changing lives in the therapy room, but also contributing to advances that benefit children and families everywhere.

Support at Every Step

Great clinicians thrive when they feel supported. Bierman has built systems that allow you to focus on what matters most: helping kids succeed.

  • Balanced Caseloads: BCBAs manage a maximum of 7 clients to maintain quality and sustainability.
  • Dedicated Training Team: Get hands-on consult time, clinical audits, and feedback you can use.
  • Administrative Support: Scheduling and billing are handled for you.
  • Culture of Joy: Sunshine Committees, Cloud 9 rewards, team events, and spirit weeks make work feel fun and connected.

Why Choose Bierman

Other providers may leave you feeling stuck. Bierman ensures every child milestone is matched by a clinician milestone, because investment is made in you as much as in the families served.

 

Here, your work is more than therapy. It is mentorship, research, leadership, and growth, all wrapped in a culture that celebrates joy.
