Behavior Therapist, Pediatric ABA - Clinic-Based
What a Behavior Technician Does
As a Behavior Technician (BT) at Gracent Pediatric Therapy, you work 1:1 with autistic children ages 2–12. You implement therapy plans built by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and show up consistently, session after session, as a steady, supportive presence in each child's day.
You'll spend the vast majority of your day with kids. You'll be on your feet. You'll be engaged. You'll be the most consistent adult in some of these kids' days, and that matters more than most job descriptions will tell you.
What We Do Differently
At Gracent Pediatric Therapy, we practice assent-based, neuroaffirming care, which means we follow each child's lead, honor their boundaries, and build trust before we build skills. You'll work alongside occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists in a genuinely interdisciplinary environment.
