Read Less Lilac Learning Center is a non-public special education school serving autistic students ages 5 to 22 across three Washington campuses. Our funding comes through school district contracts, not insurance. That one structural difference changes your entire workday: no authorizations, no payer documentation, no productivity dashboard deciding whether you keep your job. Your clinical decisions are driven by student need and IEP goals. Full stop.
If you became a BCBA to do the work and the work keeps getting buried under billing, keep reading.
What you'd actually doYou'll own the behavioral programming for a small, assigned roster of students at one campus, reporting to the Corporate Chief of Staff. Day to day, that looks like:
Building each student's behavior plan and curricular trajectory, and selecting the measures that actually fit the goalTraining and delegating to Lead Techs and Behavior Technicians, and developing them professionallyPartnering directly with the Special Education Teacher on IEP goals and documentationCollecting data you'll actually use, and assessing progress against itKeeping parents genuinely informed, not just compliant-informedBecause we're a school and not a clinic, your caseload is measured in single digits, not dozens. You will know your students.
The honest partOur students include kids and young adults with severe behavior. Physical management is part of this job. That means trained escorts, holds, and restraints when safety requires it, with real training, real staffing ratios, and a team that shows up when you call. You'll need to be physically able to respond, including lifting 50 pounds and moving quickly when it counts.
If you've done severe behavior work and you're tired of doing it under-resourced, this is the setting you've been asking for. If you're looking to move away from physical intervention entirely, this isn't your role, and we'd rather you know that now than at orientation.
What it paysBCBA / Licensed Behavior Analyst: $95,000 to $105,000 depending on experienceBCaBA / Licensed Assistant Behavior Analyst: $85,000 to $95,000 depending on experienceLilac's compensation philosophy is simple: we benchmark against the top of the market and then pay above it. This is a salaried, FLSA-exempt position.
Benefits include employer-paid medical premiums, dental and vision, a 401(k) with employer match, paid company closures, paid time off and paid holidays, and an annual continuing education budget that covers your BACB recertification cycle with room to spare.
What you'll needBCBA or BCaBA certificationCurrent WA Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA) or Licensed Assistant Behavior Analyst (LABA), or current eligibility for licensure. If you hold a BCBA or BCBA-D anywhere in the country, you already qualify for a Washington LBA. Out-of-state candidates: yes, that means you.2+ years as a BCBA or BCaBA preferred, with experience serving childrenSupervisory experience and a real history with severe behaviorValid driver's license, clean driving record, verified auto insuranceEmployment is contingent on completion of a background check, as required by Washington law for positions with unsupervised access to children.
Why LilacThree campuses. Small student rosters. An interdisciplinary team where the special ed teacher, the techs, and the BCBA are actually in the same building solving the same problems. And a leadership team that built its pay model by asking what the best employer in the market would offer, then offering more.
