Swann Clinic for Behavioral Health is a multidisciplinary Behavioral Health Center of Excellence Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) clinic on the Western Slope committed to children with autism and developmental disabilities and their families. Our culture is one of ethical integrity, cross-disciplinary treatment, and evidence-based interventions. We believe children flourish when practitioners use their expert knowledge in their field to collaborate and develop goals with other experts. We seek to uplift each other as clinicians, which improves our ability to help our learners and their families thrive and continue to move forward in their journey. If you are interested in paraprofessional work, teaching, psychology, counseling, occupational therapy, speech therapy, or any social work-related fields, this is a great position for you. In fact, a psychologist specializing in neurodevelopmental disorders is the owner of the clinic and has hired from within for internship opportunities. We DO NOT use physical management or safety care for any interventions. Ours is an ASSENT-based, trauma-informed practice.
