About Us
Rising Stars ABA is a nonprofit providing in-home and community-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Western Connecticut. We’re a small, mission-driven team where you’ll work closely with your supervising BCBA and get to know your clients and families well.

Job Overview

Looking for a flexible second job that puts your RBT credential to work? Rising Stars ABA is hiring a part-time Registered Behavior Technician for after-school and optional weekend hours (10–20 hours per week). This role is ideal for school-based RBTs, paraprofessionals, or anyone with a daytime job who wants meaningful extra income working 1:1 with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Sessions take place in the client’s home, helping children build independence, communication, social skills, and real-world confidence. Under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), you will implement individualized treatment plans, teach functional skills, and collect accurate session data.

• Daily Living Skills: Teach and support activities of daily living (ADLs), self-care, communication, and functional routines at home.

• Data Collection: Accurately collect and record data every session and complete session notes on time.

• Behavior Reduction: Apply proactive strategies and reinforcement-based interventions to reduce challenging behavior and build replacement skills.

• Caregiver Collaboration: Communicate professionally with caregivers and model strategies to support consistency across settings.
