Why This Role Exists

Most ABA clinics are run by a BCBA who never actually wanted to be a manager. The clinical authority ends up buried in facility budgets vendor coordination and scheduling emergencies and everyone loses. KEBM built the Clinic Manager role specifically to fix that. You want the hybrid: running a clinic AND supervising clinicians because youre genuinely good at both. One of our current Clinic Managers earned her BCBA while in this seat and theyre staying because the role is bigger than pure supervision and the operational side is where she does her best work.

About Us

Were a five-clinic ABA therapy company with four locations across Southern California and one in Georgia founded in 2016 by a BCBA with 25 years in the field. Our team of 68 professionals delivers evidence-based therapy through our proprietary S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. methodology and our Sensory Spot locations prove that therapy can actually feel like play.

We serve every client who walks through our doors insurance-funded private pay open play and camp families alike. Were women-founded minority-owned and we dont sacrifice clinical quality for profit. If you want to work somewhere thats serious about outcomes and serious about its people youre in the right place.

How S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. Work

S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. is our proprietary group ABA therapy methodology a pod-based model where social skills behavior intervention and individualized goals are delivered inside a structured group dynamic. Heres how it works on the ground:

• Each pod has 3 to 6 clients with varied diagnoses autism ADHD ADD Down syndrome developmental delays grouped by age skill level and goal alignment.
• The facilitator-to-client ratio is 1:3 inside the pod.
• A supervisor is always on-site and clinical support is always available in your pod. Your on-site supervisor is a Program Supervisor BCaBA or BCBA and they move between pods providing real-time coaching oversight and support for challenging behaviors. You are never figuring it out alone.
• We use a push-in / pull-out model: group work happens inside the pod and 1:1 intensive instruction pulls out when a client needs dedicated skill-building or behavior support.
• BCBAs and Program Supervisors move between pods providing real-time coaching clinical oversight and support for challenging behaviors.

Who We Serve

KEBM serves every client who walks through our doors no tiers no priority treatment no real clients vs. drop-ins. That means:

• Insurance-funded ABA clients (Medi-Cal Medicare commercial insurance)
• Private pay therapy clients
• Open play participants at our Sensory Spot locations
• Camp participants spring break winter break summer and any seasonal KEBM camp
• Consultation clients in adult residential and group home settings (Program Supervisor Masters level and above)

A camp kid gets the same quality of care as an insurance client. An open play family gets the same respect as a full-time ABA family. If that feels natural to you youre going to fit here. If the idea of treating any of those clients as less-than bothers you this isnt the place.

• Own the clinic as a physical and operational environment cleanliness safety facility maintenance vendor relationships emergency preparedness. If it affects whether the clinic opens on time and runs cleanly its yours.

Physical Requirements

This role is physically active. Youll spend most of your day standing walking sitting on the floor transitioning between activities and occasionally responding to challenging behaviors.

• Frequent (48 hours): sitting standing walking simple grasping reaching (all directions) bending twisting kneeling squatting
• Occasional (13 hours): keyboarding fine manipulation stairs lifting or carrying 150 lbs
• Crisis readiness: the ability to respond appropriately to behaviors including elopement aggression (hitting kicking spitting throwing) and self-injury with full training and supervisory backup

This is not desk work. But you are never handling it alone a supervisor is always on-site and clinical support is always available.

What Youll Actually Encounter The Honest Section

Most ABA job posts sanitize this part and then lose hires at day 30 when reality hits. Wed rather tell you now.

• Aggression hitting kicking biting scratching throwing objects. Training and crisis protocols are in place; youll never be expected to manage it alone.
• Elopement clients running or leaving the session space. The clinic is designed to be safe; staffing is set to make elopement manageable.
• Self-injury head-hitting scratching and similar behaviors. Protocols exist for every scenario.
• Non-compliance and task refusal some sessions will test your creativity and persistence.
• Vocal stereotypy and scripting understanding function is part of the clinical picture.
• Sensory-seeking and sensory-avoidant behaviors our Sensory Spot locations are designed with this in mind.

Why we tell you this upfront:

Because we respect your decision-making. This work isnt for everyone and thats okay. But for the right person theres nothing more rewarding than helping a child build the skills that change the trajectory of their life. And you wont be doing it alone a supervisor is always on-site clinical support is always available established crisis protocols are in place and a team has your back.
