The Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services (DDS) is seeking qualified Clinical Consultants to serve as authorized Department representatives. The selected consultants will be responsible for reviewing and inspecting programs seeking Level III Certification to determine their compliance with 115 CMR 5.14A. Bidders must be currently licensed to practice psychology, psychiatry, or applied behavior analysis in the Commonwealth, have experience providing services for individuals with difficult behavioral problems, demonstrate the ability to apply the highest professional and clinical standards, and have training/experience in applied behavior analysis and behavioral treatment.
