About Bright Day

Bright Day Pediatric Therapies was built to offer a better way to deliver ABA — for children, for families, and for clinicians. We are a new clinic in NW Washington, DC, currently providing ABA Therapy and expanding to include Speech and Occupational Therapy.

Sessions at Bright Day are active, play‑based, and built around connection. Therapy here doesn't look like drills at a table. It looks like building a tower, raising a hand to share at circle time, or helping a child find a new way to ask for what they need — with clinical intention behind each interaction.

About The RBT Role

As an RBT at Bright Day, you'll work with a small group of children each day, providing 1:1 ABA therapy. ABA works by breaking apart behavior and communication into small, teachable steps, and then practicing and reinforcing these steps with the child such that new skills and behaviors take hold. You'll work in individual and small group settings with children at our freshly renovated clinic. Throughout the day, you will move between treatment rooms that are purpose‑built for active, play‑based work. Our BCBAs develop an individualized treatment plan for each child that shapes every session you lead with that child. The BCBAs also move between rooms throughout the day — observing, adjusting programs, and providing you and your teammates with real‑time guidance and support.

The workday is structured, active, and varied. You'll use evidence‑based ABA strategies, such as prompting, reinforcement, shaping, and structured skill acquisition programs to support each child's development in five primary areas: communication, emotional regulation, attention & participation, peer & social engagement, and independence. You'll build genuine therapeutic relationships, so children feel safe, engaged, and ready to learn. This work requires consistency and genuine warmth; the right person for this job finds that combination energizing.

How Our Model Works

We've designed our model differently from most ABA providers in DC. Here's what that means in practice:

• Center‑Based, No Travel: Your sessions are at our clinic. No driving to client homes, no school‑based sessions.
• Onsite BCBA Support: Our BCBAs work alongside RBTs each day, providing real‑time guidance.
• Shared Client Coverage: Each day, you rotate across a small group of children in ~2-4 hour blocks, rather than being assigned to a single client. Your day stays varied, children generalize skills faster by working with multiple therapists, and a client cancellation doesn't derail your schedule or your entire paycheck.
• Peer‑Based Learning, Built‑In: Children spend time in structured small groups alongside peers. We believe supported social interaction is essential for children with autism.
• Paid Training Built Into Your Schedule: Up to 40 hours of paid training annually, in addition to paid onboarding. If a client cancels, you can use that block for training or take voluntary time off — your choice.
• Clinic Support When You're Not in Session: When schedule gaps arise, the BCBA or Executive Director may assign support tasks such as preparing therapy materials, organizing treatment spaces, restocking supplies, or completing intake calls. These tasks keep the clinic running smoothly and ensure your time is always productive.
• Documentation That Doesn't Get In The Way: We use Passage Health, one of the industry’s most intuitive EMRs. It's built for real‑time data collection that’s quick and unobtrusive — so you’re present with the child, not buried in a tablet.

What We’re Looking For

Clinical strength and professionalism matter. Here’s what success looks like in this role:

• You arrive prepared and on‑time, every day.
• You implement each child’s treatment plan with care and consistency. You collaborate actively with your BCBA to share ideas and to refine your approach.
• You collect session data accurately and complete your documentation on the same day as treatment.
• You’re coachable, accepting feedback openly and applying it as you grow.
• You’re a steady, reliable presence for the children and families you work with.
• You contribute to a professional, low‑drama and high follow‑through team environment.
• You clock in and out accurately using Bright Day’s timekeeping system and record all hours worked.
• You perform other clinical, administrative, and professional duties as assigned.

Growth Opportunity

We believe in growing our own and we endeavor to promote from within. For RBTs working toward BCaBA or BCBA certification, we actively support that journey and can build indirect hours into your role.

Requirements

• Active RBT certification (from the BACB).
• High school diploma required; bachelor's preferred.
• Ability to engage physically in sessions, including floor work and lifting up to 50 lbs.
• Professional and ethical conduct in alignment with RBT and BACB guidelines.
