• Pay Range: $18.72 to $25.12 per hour, based on experience and education.
• Fully Paid Training & Certification: Comprehensive 3‑week, in‑person orientation that includes hands‑on training, a Board‑Certified Autism Technician (BCAT) exam review, and full coverage of exam fees.
• Referral Bonus: Earn between $250-$500 for successful referrals.
• Cell Phone Stipend: Stay connected with support from us.
• Paid Drive Time and Mileage Reimbursement: Includes toll reimbursement in select areas.
• 401(k) with Company Matching: Secure your future with a generous plan.
• Ongoing Professional Development: Access continuous training through in‑person and online opportunities.
• Supportive Environment: Collaborate with and receive expert coaching from Lead BTs, ABA Assistant Supervisors, and ABA Supervisors.
• Career Advancement: Opportunities to grow into a BCBA role, ascend the Behavior Technician Clinical Ladder, or serve in corporate support roles.
• Learn from Experts in Other Fields: Partner with BCBAs and experts in speech‑language therapy, music therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, counselors, pediatricians, neurologists, and nurse practitioners.

Your Impact & Responsibilities

• Provide 1:1 and group behavior‑analytic services to children with autism and other neurodevelopmental differences.
• Implement positive behavior strategies developed with your BCBA.
• Use evidence‑based practices to create meaningful progress for families.
• Document session data to track and support treatment goals.

Our Inclusive Culture

• Transdisciplinary Approach: Collaborate with experts in various fields to care for the whole child.
• Collaborative Process: Develop individualized care plans alongside families and clinicians.
• Strength‑Based, Neurodiversity‑Affirming Model: Focus on building on each child’s unique strengths rather than emphasizing deficits.

Join Cortica’s team and make a meaningful impact by applying a strength‑based, neurodiversity‑affirming ABA therapy model. Help children recognize and build on their unique abilities, fostering positive relationships and skills that translate across home, school, and community settings. Be part of a progressive approach that combines neuroscience and developmental models to empower each child to thrive.
