Factors Affecting Pay

Location significantly impacts compensation. Atlanta metro positions pay more than rural Georgia roles. Experience and certifications matter; BCBAs with BCBA-D credentials or specialized training earn premiums. Employer type affects pay; private practices and insurance-funded agencies typically pay more than schools. Benefits packages, including health insurance, PTO, and continuing education support, should be factored into total compensation.
