As a Behavior Technician, you will work directly with clients under the supervision and direction of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).

Your responsibilities will include:

• Provide individualized, one-on-one ABA therapy in clients' homes and community settings
• Implement skill-acquisition and behavior-support programs developed by the supervising BCBA
