Behavior Technician (BT) / Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) - Part Time

Location: Field Based (In child’s natural environment: Home, School, Community)

About the role

As a Behavior Technician (BT) or Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) in our in-home program, you will work one-on-one with children with autism in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. Under the direct supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), every session is an opportunity to help a child speak their first words, try a new food, make a friend, or gain independence in daily life. You will implement individualized treatment plans targeting communication, behavior, feeding, activities of daily living (ADLs), and social skills — making a measurable difference in each child's journey.

• Implement individualized, evidence-based ABA treatment plans designed by a supervising BCBA to address each child's unique goals.
• Collect and record precise data to track each child's progress and inform ongoing treatment updates.
• Collaborate with your supervising BCBA and the child's family to ensure consistency and carry-over of skills in the home environment.
• Build positive, trusting relationships with children and their families.
