RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) Manchester

About the role

Since 2011, Ready Set Connect Autism Centers have provided a warm, friendly, and fun learning environment for children with autism and other related disorders. We work individually with each child using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to create a personalized behavior plan designed to help improve fundamental and communication skills. Each child's treatment is overseen by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.

We also offer services, programs, and support for the entire family because we know that when the family thrives, the child does too.
