Elevate: A Values Driven Path to BCBA

By: Centria Autism

What Is Elevate at Centria Autism?

Elevate is Centria Autism’s fully paid practicum program created by behavior analysts, for behavior analysts. Designed for aspiring Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), Elevate helps clinicians build the skills, confidence, and connections they need to thrive—not just survive—in the field of autism care.

Whether you’re just beginning your ABA program or are approaching completion of your hours, Elevate meets you where you are with a personalized approach to growth.

Why Was Elevate Created?

As the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA) continues to evolve, so do the expectations placed on clinicians. Today’s BCBAs are expected to demonstrate clinical excellence, lead teams, advocate for clients, and deliver compassionate, trauma-informed care.

Elevate was built to support those demands—by giving clinicians the structure, resources, and community they need to grow professionally and deliver meaningful outcomes for families.

Elevate is designed to help BCBAs:

  • Strengthen their clinical foundation
  • Develop leadership and supervision skills
  • Collaborate effectively with peers and teams
  • Use data-informed tools and OBM strategies
  • Rediscover the why behind their work
