As a Behavior Technician at Applied Behavioral Services, you will provide structured behavioral treatment to children with autism and related developmental needs.

This is not a traditional daycare, babysitting, or classroom aide position. Your work will be guided by an individualized treatment plan developed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, or BCBA. You will be expected to follow that plan consistently, collect accurate data, respond professionally to challenging behavior, and use evidence-based strategies to help each student develop communication, social, behavioral, and independent-living skills.

Minimum Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent

• Experience supporting children or individuals with special needs, emotional needs, developmental disabilities, or behavioral challenges

• Ability to remain calm, professional, and composed during high-stress situations, including behavioral crises

• Ability to collect data accurately and document services consistently

• Openness to direct coaching, observation, and performance feedback

• Ability to complete all required background checks and meet applicable provider-network enrollment requirements

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate degree or higher in psychology, education, social work, human services, or a related field

• Active Registered Behavior Technician, or RBT, certification

• Current Crisis Prevention Institute, or CPI, training

• Current CPR and first-aid certification

What You’ll Do

• Implement ABA programs and behavior intervention plans as directed by the BCBA

• Collect and record accurate data on student progress and behavior outcomes

• Provide feedback and observations to clinical supervisors and families

• Support students during therapy sessions using evidence-based ABA techniques

• Maintain confidentiality, professionalism, and a clean, organized work environment

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Enjoy both paid time off and extra paid school breaks (for select roles), plus paid holidays

• Wellness perks including gym discounts, mindfulness apps, and prescription savings

• Tuition reimbursement, career development programs, and leadership training

• 401(k) retirement savings with a 4% company match and immediate vesting

• Health, dental, and vision insurance

• Free Employee Assistance Program with confidential counseling, life coaching, and mental health resources

• Life insurance, disability coverage, and Health Savings Account (HSA) contributions at no cost to you
