ABOUT DRAGONFLY CARES
Dragonfly Cares is a mission-driven organization dedicated to helping children with autism and developmental differences thrive.
We deliver high-quality Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy where it matters most: in homes, centers, schools, and communities across Long Island.
Our team of compassionate professionals are united by one goal: meaningful progress for every child and family we serve.
POSITION OVERVIEW
The Lead BCBA, Melville, is a licensed and BACB-certified behavior analyst whose day-to-day presence anchors the Melville center's daytime clinical operation; blending direct clinical practice, supervision, center oversight, and, as the role matures, primary center-based coordination of the Melville Bridge program.
You'll carry a direct billable caseload while serving as a senior daytime clinical presence, providing live support to Behavior Technicians, ensuring sessions run with fidelity, and safeguarding the quality of care for every client on center-based Melville services.
You'll work in close daily partnership with a fellow Lead BCBA, Melville, report clinically to the Clinical Director, and report operationally to the COO.
Over time, you'll become the primary center-based point of continuity for Bridge students transitioning into the Melville center; collaborating with the School Clinical Director on referral, intake, and enrollment, ensuring students are supported clinically and operationally upon arrival, and holding a real-time pulse on how the daytime side of the center is running.

Maintain and supervise a direct billable caseload, designing,



monitoring, and revising behavior intervention plans and skill acquisition programs
Provide live, in-session clinical support to Behavior Technicians during Melville daytime hours, ensuring sessions run with fidelity
