Job Description

At the Blue Peak Center for ABA at Mount St. Mary’s University, we are dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with autism through evidence-based treatment methodologies. Our brand-new center will feature one-on-one and group settings under the careful guidance of highly qualified supervisors.

This full-time position will work out of the Blue Peak Center for Applied Behavior Analysis at Mount St. Mary’s University. The Center is located in Emmitsburg, MD.

Work Location:

Our center is in Emmitsburg, MD., 2 miles from Mount St. Mary’s University and downtown Emmitsburg.


At least three professional references must be provided with the application.


I would suggest adding preferred here. We are just starting out, and assuming we get the many, many applications that Michelle suggests, we can afford to be choosy in hiring someone with experience and certification in place. You'll want to vet references for your top candidates right away based on the timeline you have set. We can’t hire anyone without checking references. We will likely max out at $23 —$25 for a lead RBT, which we have elected not to start with.
