Sub Social Skills Facilitator (BCBA)

About the Role

PC4B KIDS is a relationship-centered, child-first, alternative ABA consulting practice offering play-based social groups in Berkeley, CA. Our work prioritizes connection, autonomy, emotional experience, and real-life social engagement over rote skill acquisition. We support two general child profiles:

• Highly active kids needing support with regulation + peer interaction
• More reserved kids needing support initiating + sustaining social connection

This is a sub position for a BCBA to learn a new way of delivering ABA therapy, with the eventual goal of running their own groups.

Key Responsibilities

• Facilitate connection by supporting the development of communication, play, emotional awareness, and problem-solving within natural interactions.
• Follow the child’s lead while shaping opportunities for growth.
• Teach in-context using BST, modeling, natural environment teaching, and ACT-informed strategies flexibly.
• Adapt in real time based on group dynamics; no rigid programming.
• Prioritize relationship-building by engaging authentically with kids.
• Participate in play, not just supervise it.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• BCBA certification
• Experience with ACT and developmental approaches is a plus.
• Familiarity with Catalight Care Services (Kaiser Insurance) is a bonus.

Qualifications

• BCBAs who feel boxed in by traditional ABA.
• Clinicians who value connection over control.
• Individuals comfortable being flexible, relational, and human in sessions.
• Practitioners open to integrating ABA with ACT, coaching, and developmental approaches.

Role Details

• $156/hour
• Contract
• No assessments
• 4 kids per group
• Groups are flexible, play-based, and child-led.
• Sub groups are 4-6 PM MON-FRI on an as-needed basis (estimated 2 hours per month initially).
