• Supportive Environment: Coaching from Lead BTs, ABA Assistant Supervisors, and ABA Supervisors.
• Career Advancement: Opportunities to advance to a BCBA role or move up the Behavior Technician Clinical Ladder.
• Interdisciplinary Learning: Collaboration with speech‑language, music, occupational, physical therapy, counseling, pediatric, neurology, and nurse practitioner experts.

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.
