Job description

Description

Judevine’s mission is to make a real difference in the quality of life for children and adults with autism and their families, wherever they may live.

We are currently hiring RBTs for our St. Louis Children’s Clinic! Our primary emphasis is Early Intervention. Registered Behavior Technicians/RBTs are responsible for providing direct implementation of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Services to children on the autism spectrum so that they are enabled to reach their full potential. Registered Behavior Technicians help children improve behavior, communication, social and functional skills. The RBT will follow the treatment plan developed by the supervising BCBA which can also include play, listening skills, communication, visual perception, matching, and school‑readiness skills.

If you are not yet registered, but you are interested in becoming a Registered Behavior Technician, we can help you! We will provide the training needed to become an RBT, pay you during training, and cover the cost of the exam. You will work directly with a Board‑Certified Behavior Analyst who will guide you through the process!

Judevine is looking to hire highly motivated people who are either already a Registered Behavior Technician or interested in becoming an RBT in our brand new clinic serving young children. The clinic is located off Dorsett Road.

Our Registered Behavior Technicians will:

• Build play‑based, cooperative relationships with children to motivate them to seek social interaction.
• Help to teach alternatives to unsafe behaviors
• Help teach functional communication using pictures, problem‑solving skills, and social interaction.
• Increase appropriate behaviors by rewarding safety with extra praise, play, liked items, or snacks.
• Collect data on learning progress and problem behavior.
• Maintain and submit paperwork according to deadlines.
• Follow the treatment plans and interventions provided by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
• Maintain professional relationships with individuals, families, community members, and Judevine staff.
