About the Role
As a Behavior Technician, you will work one-on-one with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), helping them build communication, social, daily living, and behavioral skills through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.
This is a highly active, hands-on role that takes place in clients' homes, schools, community settings, and clinics. Behavior Technicians travel between sessions throughout the day and work directly with children through play, movement, learning activities, and skill-building exercises.
This position is ideal for individuals interested in behavioral health, psychology, education, social work, child development, or related fields. No prior ABA experience is required—we provide all training and ongoing support needed for success.
