Autism Support Specialist (Entry Level BT)
About The Position
Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities? Do you have a knack for fostering positive behavior and creating a supportive learning environment? Holding Hands Inc. is seeking a dynamic individual to join our team as a Behavior Technician. As a Behavior Technician, you'll use a proven method called Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to support children and teens in reaching their full potential. You’ll work one-on-one with clients in their home, school, or one of our welcoming clinics. Each day, you'll help your client learn new skills and reduce challenging behaviors in a fun, supportive, and meaningful way. Don’t worry if you're new to ABA—we’ll provide you with thorough training to ensure you feel confident and prepared. You’ll also have support from our caring, multi-disciplinary team every step of the way. Every child is unique, and so is our approach. We don’t use cookie-cutter programs—instead, we tailor therapy to fit each client’s needs, interests, and goals. If you're passionate about helping others, love working with kids, and want to make a real difference, this could be the perfect fit for you!
