About ABA Centers Of Pennsylvania

Our clinical teams have decades of experience working closely with families, helping children find their voices, and creating early interventions that can ripple throughout a lifetime.
Growth Opportunity
Are you an experienced diagnostic specialist looking for the next step in your career at a stable company committed to making a difference? Join us in our mission to reduce the long waiting times for autism diagnosis and ABA therapy. We are building something special. As a Clinical Diagnostic Specialist, you will work with the Clinic Executive Director and have access to a Clinical Psychologist in your region/state for questions.
