Job description

Lynwood, CA
Location: In-home ABA therapy

Meaningful Work. Flexible Scheduling. Opportunities to Grow.

Asteri Behavioral Treatment Center is expanding our team! We're looking for compassionate, motivated individuals who enjoy working with children and want to make a lasting impact. Whether you're beginning your career or looking to grow your experience in behavioral health, we offer a supportive environment where you can develop your skills.

What is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based approach that helps children with autism and other developmental disabilities learn meaningful skills that support greater independence in their everyday lives.

Through personalized, engaging sessions, Behavior Technicians work one-on-one with children to strengthen communication, social, play, coping, and daily living skills. Using positive reinforcement and individualized strategies, they also help children develop safer and more effective ways to navigate challenging behaviors.

ABA is all about celebrating progress—whether it’s learning to communicate a need, completing a daily routine, interacting with others, or reaching a new milestone. Each session is an opportunity to help a child build confidence, develop new skills, and become more independent at home and in the community.
