Providing evidence-based services that improve the quality of life for individuals with special needs is at the heart of May Institute’s mission. It has been our top priority for more than six decades.

We offer a continuum of care that begins with home-based applied behavioral analysis (ABA) services for toddlers newly diagnosed with an ASD, and continues with school consultation, residential placement, special education schools, and adult services to meet the needs of the many individuals we serve and their families.

As the incidence of autism around the country and throughout the world rises, the demand for our evidence-based services continues to grow. In response, we have openings for licensed psychologists, board certified behavior analysts (BCBAs), board certified assistant behavior analysts (BCaBAs), and those pursuing their degrees.
