  • Ensure consistency and safety: Collaborate with childcare staff, families, and clinical leadership to provide high-quality, ethical care.
  • Grow professionally: Receive ongoing training, supervision, and feedback to strengthen your clinical skills and confidence.

What You’ll Own & Elevate 

  • Implement individualized ABA treatment plans designed by the supervising BCBA.
  • Use evidence-based strategies such as natural environment teaching (NET), discrete trial training (DTT), prompting, and reinforcement.
  • Collect accurate data on skill acquisition and behavior goals during sessions.
  • Document session notes and progress updates in a timely, compliant manner.
  • Communicate observations and progress with supervisors and team members.
  • Participate in supervision, team meetings, and required trainings.
  • Maintain confidentiality and uphold ethical and professional standards at all times.

Who You Are 

  • Compassionate, patient, and energized by working with young children.
  • Comfortable in active, fast-paced environments like childcare centers and community settings.
  • Open to coaching and eager to learn, grow, and refine your skills.
  • A reliable team player who values collaboration, consistency, and follow-through.
  • Mission-driven and motivated to make a real difference in children’s lives.

What You Bring

  • Willingness to obtain Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification within the first 120 days of employment (required).
  • Experience working with children with autism or developmental disabilities (preferred).
  • Experience in childcare, preschool, or school-based settings (strongly preferred).
  • Ability to pass background checks, clearances, and health screenings required by state regulations and childcare centers.

Why You’ll Love Working Here
