Chief Executive Officer
Crossroads School for Children
Natick, Massachusetts

About Crossroads School for Children
Founded just four years ago by a small group of dedicated parents of children on the autism spectrum, Crossroads School for Children is meeting a critical need. Crossroads provides a continuum of services across intensity and level of integration, resulting in the most effective mix of services to meet the individual needs of the child. Services include both group instruction and individual therapy and are provided in a variety of settings, ranging from separated to integrated classrooms.

Crossroads aims to enhance all children’s lives by teaching the necessary skills for them to participate in a meaningful way in their home, school, and community. To do so, Crossroads employs Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy as its fundamental instructional approach. Noted as the only method for which empirical research has validated success, procedures based on ABA are used at Crossroads to increase skills across all areas of development. Crossroads currently serves 39 children, and in its new building, has the capacity to serve 80 children at a time.

Having flourished in its first four years, Crossroads needs to move from a successful start up to a steady adolescence. With a long-term lease on a newly built-out facility, a state-funded budget of $2.8MM, a successful track record meeting the needs of autistic children and their families, and capacity for increased enrollment, Crossroads is poised for phenomenal growth. The next CEO will be charged with delivering that growth in a stable and thoughtful fashion, assessing and evaluating the current program, and making determinations about the direction and pace of future growth.

An expert ABA clinician with the leadership skills to define the correct direction for programmatic growth and expansion, the CEO will develop and execute growth in program opportunities, fundraising and leadership. Specifically, the Chief Executive Officer will be expected to provide strategic oversight in fundraising, program development, staff supervision and development, external relations, strategic planning, board development, finance and operations management. The ideal candidate will have a background in successfully implementing ABA therapy, and experience as an administrator of a program serving children along the autism spectrum.

Desired Qualifications
The CEO will be an entrepreneurial leader looking to build upon a career working directly with autistic children. S/he will combine program management acumen, a zeal for supporting children and families, and a steadfast belief in the power of ABA therapy to positively impact the lives of autistic children and their families. Leveraging a distinctive skill set, the ideal candidate will be opportunistic, full of energy, passionate, and intelligence. This is an opportunity for an expert in the field of ABA therapy to build upon a school with an exceptional reputation and effective program, deepening its systems and broadening its reach as it enters its fifth year of service.
