Dear [Hiring manager's name],
I currently supervise a caseload of 14 clients and six RBTs across home, clinic and school settings, writing and adjusting behavior programs on a rolling review schedule rather than a fixed quarterly cycle. I am applying for the BCBA opening at [Behavioral health clinic name] because the posting describes building out a school-consultation track, which is the direction I have been pushing my own caseload toward for the past year.
Insurance authorizations and outcomes are the two things a clinic tracks about my work. My treatment plans have a 94 percent first-pass authorization approval rate with payers that reject far more often for the rest of the clinic, and a functional communication protocol I wrote for a nonverbal seven-year-old client cut his tantrum frequency from daily to roughly twice a month within five months, with the gains holding at a six-month follow-up.
I hold an active BCBA certification and a state RBT supervision credential, and I run weekly RBT competency checks using behavioral skills training rather than a checklist alone. I have written more than 40 individualized behavior plans this year across autism, ADHD and school-refusal cases, and I sit on the clinic's quality committee reviewing any plan that has not moved a target behavior in 60 days.
I would welcome a conversation about the school-consultation work you are building at [Behavioral health clinic name] and where my program-writing and RBT-supervision approach could fit. I am available for an interview at your convenience and can share de-identified data samples on request. Thank you for considering my application.
Respectfully,
Taylor Thompson, BCBA
