Special Needs Care Network launches ABA job board with 2,998 live openings

Special Needs Care Network has launched Special Needs Jobs, a new ABA therapy job board with 2,998 live openings across 41 states. The site is designed to help providers hire BCBAs, RBTs and other clinicians faster as demand for behavior analysts continues to outpace supply.

Why it matters: - ABA providers are competing for a shrinking pool of clinicians while families still face waitlists for therapy. - Special Needs Jobs puts pay, setting and schedule details in one place, which could make it easier for BCBAs and RBTs to compare offers. - The launch ties hiring more directly to access, since staffing shortages can delay when children start ABA therapy.

What happened: - Special Needs Care Network launched Special Needs Jobs, a job board focused on ABA therapy roles. - The board lists openings for Board Certified Behavior Analysts, Registered Behavior Technicians, Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts and behavior technicians across the United States. - The site opened with 2,998 live openings from 49 employers in 41 states. - Each listing is checked against the employer’s own posting, and closed roles are removed.

The details: - The board shows pay at the top of a listing when an employer publishes a range. - Each role is tagged by setting: in-home, center-based, school-based, hybrid or remote. - Listings also show whether a role is full-time or part-time. - Posts include brief notes on common candidate questions, such as whether training is paid or how many days a hybrid role requires on site. - Candidates apply directly with the employer, and the board is free for job seekers. - Visitors can search by role, keyword, city or state. - The site includes free career tools: an RBT weekly pay calculator, a BCBA supervision cost calculator and an editable résumé template for first-time behavior technician applicants.

Between the lines: - The launch arrives as employer demand for behavior analysts keeps rising faster than new certifications. - BACB data show certified RBTs increased from 89,122 at the end of 2020 to 246,109 at the end of 2025. - BACB data also show BCBAs rose from 44,025 to 81,566 over the same period, an 85% increase. - BACB data compiled by Lightcast show BCBA-related job postings reached 132,307 in 2025, up 28% from 103,150 in 2024. - Demand for BCBA-related roles has grown every year since 2010. - North Carolina postings rose 63% in one year, while New York, Maryland, Georgia and New Jersey each grew by more than 50%. - The BACB survey found that among RBTs whose certification expired in 2024, 57% cited inadequate pay as a reason for leaving. - Other reasons included poor treatment by the company, cited by 44%, lack of supervisor support at 41% and unpredictable schedules at 38%. - The job board also gives smaller ABA practices a hiring tool that can sit next to the family-facing provider profile already on Special Needs Care Network.

What's next: - Special Needs Jobs is live now and free for job seekers. - Employers can post ABA therapy jobs directly on the site. - New openings are added daily. - Special Needs Care Network said providers using its ABA matching platform can add job openings from their provider account. - The company said the board is meant to help both large ABA networks and smaller local practices compete for BCBAs and RBTs.

The bottom line: - Special Needs Care Network is extending its ABA marketplace into hiring, betting that better job transparency can help providers fill roles and shorten waitlists for families.
