About Springtide Child Development:

Springtide is a VC-backed rapidly-growing company that offers family-centered care for children with autism and other developmental delays. We offer ABA, speech, occupational therapy, and social skills classes all under one roof. Our experienced, interdisciplinary team develops personalized care plans using evidence-based treatments, all while using digital tools to transform the way behavioral care is delivered. Springtide clinics are open M-F 8a-6p (and some clinics Saturdays 9a-3p).

One in 44 children are diagnosed with autism in the US today, and there is a severe gap in both the quality and quantity of available treatment options. Springtide is building a multi-center practice of best-in-class interdisciplinary clinics, to help our children reach their greatest potential and elevate the standard of care.

Join the team that’s reimagining how autism care is delivered:

At Springtide, we provide a family-centered care model to help children with autism and their families thrive and are building a best-in-class interdisciplinary team to help fulfill that vision. We have a full-time opportunity for a Behavioral Therapist (BT) at our West Springfield, MA clinic.

Here’s how we do it:

families, no matter their background and circumstance. We are a one-stop shop for all therapies, and coordinate care across schools, pediatricians and other caregivers.

• Improved access to care: We accept kids from all insurances, including Medicaid. We provide

a seamless onboarding experience, minimizing paperwork and eliminating confusion. We offer no-wait access through exceptional technology and operations.

• Scale highest clinical quality: Following the latest evidence-based guidelines, we build

operations and technology to support our practice so that we are offering the highest level of

quality to our clients.

• Culture focused atmosphere: Through continued education and performance development

opportunities, Springtide fosters an environment that encourages inter-professional collaboration and enables our staff to thrive and ascend.
