HIRING COMMITTEE

Fern Leaf ABA wants to hire a new behavior analyst this year. It is very important to us that any person we hire is comfortable and able to communicate with the people we serve. Since the owners of Fern Leaf ABA do not have disabilities, we would like to contract 1-3 people who have intellectual and/or developmental disabilities to serve as consultants on our hiring committee.
