Bierman Autism Centers

The Kids Move Forward.
So Do You.

Some of the best parts of this job are hard to fit into a statistic, so watch them instead. This is what it looks like to help a child reach a moment their family will remember for years, and to grow as a clinician while you do it.

The Teaching Hospital Model

Pick the path that fits your workflow.

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 coach 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

A high-expectations environment with the support infrastructure to match.

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

  • Caseloads are capped to protect clinical quality, so you have the time to do your best work.
  • A defined path from CiT to BCBA to Clinical Director and beyond.
  • BACB-aligned supervision with real-time feedback, not just hours logged.
  • Research opportunities through PEBBL, including authorship and protected time.

How You're Supported Day to Day

The conditions that make great clinical work possible.

Caseloads, supervision, and pacing are not afterthoughts here. They are deliberate design choices that protect quality and protect clinicians.

01

Caseloads capped to protect clinical quality

Caseloads are deliberately limited so you can give every learner your full attention and do your best clinical work.

02

Goal review every 3 to 5 days

Programming decisions happen on a tight loop. You will never wait months to find out whether something is working.

03

Supervision primarily onsite

In-center oversight means quality is protected in the moment, not reviewed after the fact.

Progress Through Evidence-Based Behavior Lab

We don't just follow the evidence. We generate it.

PEBBL embeds research directly into clinical workflows. Clinicians collect session data, mentors help shape it into pragmatic studies, and findings get shared through conferences, journals, and monthly webinars. Contributor and Fellowship tracks offer protected research time, CEUs, and authorship credit. If you want to work somewhere that takes the science seriously enough to advance it, this is that place.
