Job Description

Join Cortica as a Pre-school Behavior Technician  
Empower students. Support families. Advance the standard of neurodevelopmental care. 

Cortica is seeking a dedicated and compassionate Preschool Behavior Technician to provide 1:1 behavior support to students with autism and other neurodevelopmental differences in a local private preschool setting. You'll work closely with educators, caregivers, and Cortica's clinical team to help students succeed across their day. 

Cortica was founded to fix the fragmented journey families often face when seeking therapies for their children. By blending neurology, research-based therapies, and technology into one cohesive care model, we deliver life-changing neurodevelopmental care—one child, one family, one community at a time. 

As part of this mission, we proudly partner with local schools to provide ABA therapy in educational settings. This extension of our care reflects our commitment to supporting children not only in clinics and homes, but also in the environments where they learn and grow. 

Schedule & Availability  
This position follows a consistent Monday–Friday schedule, with required availability from 7:45 AM to 2:15 PM. While actual working hours vary based on student needs, you'll receive a minimum of 4 hours of paid work per day when you remain available and accept assignments. 

At times when you are not yet assigned to a designated client, you may follow an administrative schedule from 7:45 AM to 11:45 AM. During this window, you'll stay engaged with administrative tasks from home and be ready to step into a school session if one becomes available. 

What will you do?  

• Execute all responsibilities and skills associated with the RBT certification. Must be obtained within 120 days of hire.
• Provide direct implementation of holistic, neurodiversity-affirming behavior analytic services to students in one-on-one and group settings within schools. 
• Work closely with school teams to integrate behavioral strategies into the daily classroom routine and support students' engagement and learning.
• Support student development in communication, social skills, self-regulation, and self-care (e.g., toileting, hygiene, dressing) as appropriate to the school context.
• Utilize a strengths-based treatment approach developed in collaboration with the educational team.
• Collect data consistently on student progress and behaviors during each session and complete timely documentation, including session notes and incident reports.
• Participate in classroom observations, team meetings, and school-based training sessions as assigned.
• Implement proactive behavior support strategies and follow school safety and crisis protocols, including de-escalation and mandated reporting procedures.
• Travel between assigned work sites, as needed, within the designated service area.
• Other duties as assigned. 

We'd love to hear from you if:  

• You have at least one year of work experience in ABA / Behavior Technician roles
• You hold a high school diploma or equivalent.
• You can maintain reliable transportation and must be able to travel between work locations.
• You have a first aid/CPR certification or ability to obtain.
