Psychology & Education Graduates | Start Your Career in ABA

About FirstSteps

The FirstSteps Team is inspired by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential. To that end, our mission is twofold: to provide the best evidence-based, behavior analytic treatment to our children diagnosed with autism and related learning differences, and to offer a positive, collaborative, and dynamic work experience for our team. We are steadfastly committed to ongoing training and mentorship of our employees, always motivated to support the next generation of clinical leaders in our field and at FirstSteps. Our greatest reward is witnessing the rapid and joyful learning of our little ones and knowing that together, we are creating more happy days for the kids and families we serve.

You’ve studied how children learn, grow, and develop. Now put that knowledge into practice.

If you're about to graduate, a recent grad or beginning your career in psychology, education, child development, special education, or a related field , FirstSteps is an opportunity to gain meaningful hands-on experience while building a career working with children.

As a Behavior Technician , you'll work one-on-one with children with autism in a supportive, play-based environment. You'll help children build communication, social, independence, and everyday life skills while developing practical skills in behavior, learning, and individualized intervention.

No ABA experience? That's okay. We'll teach you.

You'll receive paid training, hands-on mentorship, and ongoing support from experienced clinicians as you learn the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis and develop the skills to grow in the field.

Start with experience. Grow with purpose.

For many of our team members, Behavior Technician is the beginning of a long-term career. Many of our BCBAs and leaders started in hands-on roles working directly with children , and we've supported team members as they grow into clinical and leadership positions.

Whether you're exploring your next step after graduation or already know you want a career in behavior analysis, education, or clinical work , this is a chance to start building that career now.

Paid training + $23/hour to start, with $1/hour increase opportunities multiple times a year
