• Implement individualized treatment plans tailored to each child
• Track progress through data collection and session documentation (training provided)
• Support development in behavior, communication, and daily living skills
• Build strong, supportive relationships with children and their families

• Minimum high school diploma
• Experience working with children (ASD experience preferred)
• At least 6 months of ABA or related experience is a plus
• Strong communication skills and attention to detail
• Ability to take feedback, stay organized, and work independently
• Comfortable working in a home-based environment
• Reliable transportation and access to a mobile device for session notes

Preferred (Not Required)

• RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) certification
• Experience supporting individuals with autism or developmental disabilities
• Bilingual (Spanish or Korean speaking) or multilingual candidates are encouraged to apply

Why Join Progressive Option Support Services?

We’ve built a team where you’re supported, trained, and given real opportunities to grow.

• Competitive hourly rate: $28-$30
• Career growth opportunities (RBT certification support + exposure to BCBA track)
• Access to training and development resources
• Supportive supervision and collaborative team environment
• Hands‑on experience that builds long‑term clinical skills

Additional Requirements

• Ability to pass a criminal background check
• Commitment to maintaining client confidentiality (HIPAA compliance)
• Ability to perform physical aspects of the role (light lifting, bending, kneeling, etc. during sessions)

The Bottom Line
