Description

About Children’s Specialized ABA

Children’s Specialized ABA is part of the Children’s Specialized Hospital Autism Center of Excellence. We serve children with ASD by combining clinical innovation, whole-child care, and personalized therapy.

At Children’s Specialized ABA, we envision a future where every child diagnosed with autism has access to innovative and compassionate care, empowering them to thrive and reach their full potential. Our vision is built on four core values:

• Inclusivity: We celebrate the diversity within the Autism spectrum and are committed to creating an inclusive environment that respects and values each person’s individual strengths and differences.
• Innovation: We foster a culture of creativity and collaboration, exploring new ideas to develop personalized solutions that enhance quality of life for all children with Autism.
• Connection: We actively engage with the health systems and broader community to coordinate services and care for people with Autism.
• Quality and Safety: We invest in research and training to provide cutting-edge, effective, safe, and personalized services tailored to the unique needs of those we serve.

Ready to Make a Difference?

Your bilingual skills aren’t just valuable: they’re essential. Many of the families we serve rely on Spanish to communicate about their child’s care. By joining our team, you’ll be the bridge that ensures every child gets the services they need and every parent feels heard and supported.

If you’re fluent in English and Spanish, passionate about helping children, and ready to start a meaningful career, apply today! We’ll provide full training and stand by you every step of the way.

Why Join Us?

• Premium pay for bilingual (English/Spanish) candidates
• Paid training and exam fees – No RBT certification? No problem!
• Career growth opportunities – We promote from within

Position Overview

As a Bilingual Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), you’ll provide one-on-one ABA therapy to children with ASD, helping them build communication, social, and daily living skills. You’ll work closely with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and a collaborative care team to deliver compassionate care.

Not certified yet? We’ll train you and cover your RBT exam cost!

What You’ll Do:

• Deliver individualized therapy sessions in-home or clinic-based
• Implement behavior acquisition and reduction plans
• Use electronic tools such as CentralReach to conduct preference assessments and track data.
• Collaborate in clinical meetings and receive ongoing feedback and supervision
• Maintain program books and develop teaching materials

What You’ll Need:

• Minimum age: 18 years
• High school diploma or equivalent
• Reliable transportation (travel up to 20 miles)
• Fluency in English and Spanish
• Any experience working with children (childcare, teaching, early childhood) is a great foundation!
• Physically able to perform job duties (kneeling, bending, lifting up to 40 lbs.)

Work Location:

This position will provide in-home services to clients located within a radius of approximately 20 miles from your home. Candidates must have reliable transportation and be comfortable traveling between client locations. We offer premium pay for sessions scheduled after 5 PM, as well as paid drive time between clients, and weekly BCBA supervision.

• Supportive, inclusive culture where your voice, ideas, and empathy are truly valued.
• Accrued paid sick time and benefits available for eligible employees.
• Referral bonus program — help us grow the team and get rewarded.
• Exclusive discounts on entertainment, travel, theme parks, and more.
