At Applied Behavioral Services, we believe progress is possible for every learner. Our team delivers 11 month, ABA-based education and treatment to help children and young adults build skills that last. Collaboration, integrity, and measurable outcomes guide our work, every day.

As a Behavior Technician at Applied Behavioral Services, you will provide structured behavioral treatment to children with autism and related developmental needs.

This is not a traditional daycare, babysitting, or classroom aide position. Your work will be guided by an individualized treatment plan developed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, or BCBA. You will be expected to follow that plan consistently, collect accurate data, respond professionally to challenging behavior, and use evidence-based strategies to help each student develop communication, social, behavioral, and independent-living skills.

Minimum Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Experience supporting children or individuals with special needs, emotional needs, developmental disabilities, or behavioral challenges
• Ability to remain calm, professional, and composed during high-stress situations, including behavioral crises
• Ability to collect data accurately and document services consistently
• Openness to direct coaching, observation, and performance feedback
• Ability to complete all required background checks and meet applicable provider-network enrollment requirements

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate degree or higher in psychology, education, social work, human services, or a related field
• Active Registered Behavior Technician, or RBT, certification
• Current Crisis Prevention Institute, or CPI, training
• Current CPR and first-aid certification

What You’ll Do

• Implement ABA programs and behavior intervention plans as directed by the BCBA
• Collect and record accurate data on student progress and behavior outcomes
• Provide feedback and observations to clinical supervisors and families
• Support students during therapy sessions using evidence-based ABA techniques
• Maintain confidentiality, professionalism, and a clean, organized work environment

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Enjoy both paid time off and extra paid school breaks (for select roles), plus paid holidays
• Wellness perks including gym discounts, mindfulness apps, and prescription savings
• Tuition reimbursement, career development programs, and leadership training
• 401(k) retirement savings with a 4% company match and immediate vesting
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Free Employee Assistance Program with confidential counseling, life coaching, and mental health resources
• Life insurance, disability coverage, and Health Savings Account (HSA) contributions at no cost to you
