The mission of the Behavior Analyst Intern at ACES is to elevate the standards in the treatment of Autism by engaging in activities to increase their skills to a supervisory level while also providing effective and efficient implementation of services that positively impact the lives of ACES’ clients via ABA therapy. Behavior Analyst Interns implement Applied Behavioral Analysis (“ABA”) programs that focus on decreasing maladaptive behaviors and increasing social, communication and adaptive skills with clients affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders and/or other special needs under the direction of a Supervisor. In addition, Behavior Analyst Interns also engage in various educational, training, assessment and in the field application activities to prepare themselves for a supervisory level position at ACES under the direction of an Area Director/Area Manager.
