ABA Therapist / Behavior Technician

Berlin, CT | 19- 24 per hour
Full-Time, Part-Time, and Substitute Opportunities

Somewhere Over the Spectrum is looking for ABA Therapists to join our team in Berlin, CT. If you enjoy working with young children, getting to know what interests them, and finding ways to support their learning through play, we’d love to meet you.

We are a family-owned autism center with a whole-child approach rooted in acceptance, connection, and understanding. Our work starts with getting to know each child, their strengths, their interests, how they play, and how we can support them.

What you’ll do

In our Center-Based Early Childhood Autism Program, you’ll work individually with children while supporting their learning and development throughout a preschool-style structure. This includes circle time, therapeutic centers, outdoor play, movement, specials, and individualized ABA sessions.

Alongside our clinical team, you’ll:

• Support children’s communication, play, social interaction, and everyday skills.
• Follow individualized programming and help children to build their skills throughout the day.
• Build relationships with children, families, and coworkers.
• Communicate with Leadership & Management and BCBAs and incorporate their guidance and feedback.
• Bring curiosity, patience, and a willingness to get playful and silly.

Who we’re looking for

Our ideal candidate has at least one year of experience in ABA, as an RBT or paraprofessional, or in early childhood settings.

We value people who:

• Enjoy working with children and respect each child’s individual needs.
• Are dependable and flexible in supporting different children across our team.
• Communicate clearly and work well with others.
• Are open to feedback and willing to keep learning.
• Approach children, families, and coworkers with empathy.

Spanish-speaking applicants are encouraged to apply.

Benefits

Full-time hourly positions offer:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance options
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Health savings account options
• Professional development assistance

We also offer a 401(k) plan with a 4% employer match after one year of employment, subject to eligibility.

Location

This is an in-person position in Berlin, CT. Applicants must be able to commute to our center.
