Use Your RBT Skills Where They Matter Most.

Put your skills to work helping individuals build independence where life actually happens; in their homes, schools, and communities.

At Ability Matters, we provide person-centered behavioral services for individuals with autism and developmental disabilities. We are not a home health agency or clinic. We help individuals develop meaningful skills through real-life experiences and community inclusion.

This is a hands-on role where you'll see the impact of your work every day.

Support Community Inclusion

Provide services in homes, schools, day programs, and throughout the community, helping individuals participate in meaningful activities and build independence beyond traditional therapy settings.

Collaborate with Teams & Families

Work closely with BCBAs, supervisors, families, and other professionals to ensure consistent implementation of treatment goals and individualized supports.
