Board Certified Behavior Analyst
: Job Details :

Milestones is a BCBA owned & operated clinic in Myrtle Beach, SC. We are an intentionally small organization to maintain our focus on quality, and we are searching for an enthusiastic, caring, compassionate behavior analyst to join us!

Our Mission

Our mission at Milestones Clinic is to provide quality services with a focus on prioritizing autonomy, delivering kind and compassionate care, and disseminating the science of Applied Behavior Analysis.

Prioritizing autonomy, across both learners and staff. Our programs are focused on following the learners' motivation and embedding teaching opportunities throughout play. Milestones recognizes the importance of investing in direct care staff, and our RBT's complete an intensive, hands-on training to prepare them to competency prior to case assignment. We appreciate the value that a skilled RBT brings to our learners, our families, our BCBAs, and to the organization. We have created a culture in which RBT's confidently communicate across team members and supervisors, making it easier for BCBA's to prioritize time and energy during sessions. All staff are appreciated for their roles, and understand the importance of providing services with integrity.

Delivering kind and compassionate care, while measuring the impact of our services. Milestones evaluates quality by surveying our families and staff throughout the year, and this data drives us both clinically and administratively. Families provide responses to specific questions related to treatment outcomes, satisfaction of services, and additional qualitative information. This allows Milestones to continually monitor social validity and adjust when needed. We pride ourselves on ‘televisibility', and are confident that our teams are always providing treatment with dignity and respect.

Disseminating our science is an important aspect of our mission as a BCBA owned company. We know the value of ethical ABA services, and believe it is our responsibility as BCBA's to spread awareness and information. In addition to creating collaborative relationships with schools, families and other service providers, Milestones hosts a series of unique interactive workshops over the summer for school professionals across South Carolina and plan to offer more options in the future.

Our Vision
