Be the Difference for Children & Families – Join Dashi Rivers!

Looking for a role where your work truly matters? At Dashi Rivers, part of the Kennedy Care family of companies, we’re building a team of compassionate, motivated individuals who want to create real impact through ABA therapy.

For over 20 years, Kennedy Care has delivered personalized care services including in-home support, nanny placement, and most recently ABA therapy for children and teens with autism. At Dashi Rivers, we focus on providing supportive, family centered ABA therapy that helps children grow, learn, and thrive.

We’re currently hiring a Behavior Technician who is ready to bring energy, patience, and heart to their work. As a Behavior Technician, you will play a key role in delivering high quality ABA therapy to children and families. If you enjoy working with kids and want a meaningful career path as a Behavior Technician, we’d love to connect.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Deliver one-on-one ABA therapy sessions as a Behavior Technician in home and center settings
• Follow individualized treatment plans created by a BCBA as a Behavior Technician
• Track progress and collect session data accurately during ABA therapy sessions
• Use positive, evidence-based strategies as a Behavior Technician to support skill development
• Partner with families and supervisors to ensure consistent, high-quality ABA therapy

Why This Behavior Technician Role Stands Out

• Paid, hands-on training. No prior ABA therapy experience required to become a Behavior Technician
• Full support to earn your Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification
• Career advancement opportunities beyond the Behavior Technician role
• Ongoing mentorship and a supportive clinical team for every Behavior Technician
• Health, dental, and vision benefits for eligible team members
• PTO and employee referral incentives
• Comprehensive onboarding program focused on ABA therapy
• Real-world experience delivering ABA therapy to children

Schedule & Work Setting

• Flexible weekday scheduling with some weekend availability
• In-person role providing ABA therapy with structured support
• Collaborative, mission-driven environment where every Behavior Technician is valued

What makes this organization so unique is not only that these values are clearly defined, but that every single employee, alongside management, truly lives them out each day. It creates a culture where respect, integrity, and teamwork are more than words—they are actions that guide the way we work and interact with one another."

That level of support has allowed me to learn so much—both about my role and about myself.
