    Job Description

    WHO ARE WE?

    Wild Sun Behavioral Services is a rapidly expanding Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) organization that provides services in and around Erie, CO. What sets us apart from many of the other ABA providers in the area is our acknowledgment and appreciation of the individual behind the data. This is evident in our compassionate and holistic approach to our clients and their families.

    Our Early Child Development Center (ECDC) is another asset that sets us apart from other ABA organizations. Wild Sun’s ECDC provides an inclusive environment for neurodiverse children ages 3-6 with a tiered system of behavioral support to set all individuals up for success. The unified approach we embrace provides for mutually beneficial education and social experiences. Our research-based and empirically driven approach utilizes behavioral principles for all children to support pro-social, play, adaptive, and academic skills.

    Our students have a step up on other learners because they are exposed to:

    • Peer modeling/collaboration

    • Diverse individuals

    • Social-emotional growth opportunities

    • Empathy/compassion/acceptance/adaptability

    • Problem-solving

    • Navigating human dynamics

    • Communication strategies

     

    WHAT'S THE JOB?

    We are a small, organized, fun, and loving environment providing lower ratios for exceptional kids, which allows for significant individual attention, superior rapport building, and the establishment of reinforcing personal relationships between instructor and learners.
