Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)

We are seeking a compassionate, energetic, and dedicated Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) to join our collaborative pediatric therapy team. This position offers the opportunity to provide individualized ABA services in a fun, engaging sensory gym and private practice environment serving children, adolescents, and young adults from birth through age 21.

Our practice takes a collaborative, whole-child approach to care. RBTs work alongside a multidisciplinary team of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), Occupational Therapists (OTs/COTAs), Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), and other pediatric therapy professionals to support each client's functional development, independence, communication, regulation, and participation.

Responsibilities

• Provide 1:1 ABA therapy under the supervision and direction of a BCBA.
• Implement individualized behavior intervention and skill-acquisition programs.
• Collect accurate data and document client progress according to treatment plans and practice requirements.
• Support development of communication, social, play, self-help, emotional regulation, and daily living skills.
• Utilize the sensory gym and therapeutic environment to create engaging, developmentally appropriate treatment sessions as directed by the treatment plan.
• Implement behavior-reduction strategies and reinforcement procedures established by the supervising BCBA.
• Collaborate professionally with BCBAs, OTs/COTAs, SLPs, families, and other members of the child's treatment team.
• Participate in team meetings, supervision, training, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
• Maintain client safety, confidentiality, and professional boundaries.
• Communicate effectively with supervisors and caregivers regarding sessions, progress, and relevant concerns.
• Maintain reliable attendance and consistency with assigned clients.

Qualifications

• Active RBT certification through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) preferred/required based on position.
• High school diploma or equivalent required; bachelor's degree or coursework in psychology, education, behavior analysis, child development, or a related field is a plus.
• Experience working with children, adolescents, or individuals with developmental disabilities preferred.
• Experience with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, developmental delays, behavioral challenges, or sensory processing differences is a plus.
• Ability to follow behavior plans and clinical protocols with consistency.
• Strong communication, teamwork, and documentation skills.
• Comfortable working in an active pediatric sensory gym environment.
• Ability to engage in physical activities associated with pediatric treatment, including getting on the floor, playing, moving throughout the gym, and assisting clients as appropriate.
• Dependable, patient, flexible, positive, and passionate about working with children and families.

What Makes Our Practice Different

Our RBTs are part of a true interdisciplinary pediatric team rather than working in isolation. Our sensory gym environment provides opportunities for movement, play, social interaction, and functional skill development while allowing clinicians from different disciplines to communicate and collaborate on shared client goals.

You will have the opportunity to work alongside professionals in ABA, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy, creating an environment where clinicians can learn from one another while providing individualized, family-centered care.

We Are Looking for Someone Who...

Is enthusiastic about pediatric care, enjoys being active and creative, values collaboration, and understands that meaningful progress often happens through connection, play, consistency, and teamwork.

If you are an RBT looking for a supportive private-practice environment where you can grow professionally while making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families, we would love to hear from you.
