“Sometimes it's the people no one imagines anything of, who do the things that no one can imagine.” - Alan Turing
That's the idea behind our name, and it's the job. Our families know their RBTs by name. They write about them in reviews. They remember what you did for their kid. If you want your work to be seen and to matter, this is where it happens.
Who We Are
Imagine That Therapy is a small, locally owned, center-based ABA practice with two locations in Alexandria. We're not a franchise and we're not backed by private equity. We're growing fast but we've stayed small enough that you'll know every kid on your caseload and every teammate on your team.
What You'll Do
You'll provide one-on-one, play-based ABA therapy to kids on the autism spectrum, under BCBA supervision. Specifically, that means:
- Running individualized behavior intervention plans
- Building communication, social, play, and daily living skills through games and naturalistic teaching, not worksheets
- Collecting session data that gets used to adjust programs
- Working alongside BCBAs as one cohesive care team
Our families tell us first-hand the impact this work has: kids moving from single sounds to full sentences, eye contact improving, a first restaurant meal the whole family can enjoy. The little things that add up to something huge.
Path to BCBA
If you're working toward certification, we build the runway in:
- Unrestricted fieldwork hours under qualified supervision
- Involvement in treatment planning and assessment
- Parent training and multidisciplinary meetings
- Direct mentorship from clinical leadership
- A proven track to a BCBA role here
What You Need
Required:
- Current RBT certification
- High school diploma or equivalent
- Clean background and references
- Reliable transportation
- Comfortable on the floor, lifting up to 50 lbs, fully present in play
Nice to have:
- Associate's or Bachelor's in Psychology, Education, Special Ed, Child Development, Social Work, or related field
- Experience with kids with autism or developmental disabilities
- Center-based ABA background
Why Imagine That
Small caseloads. Real clinical support. Consistent supervision. A supportive leadership team that knows your goals and is invested in your success.
Benefits
