CSD believes in possibilities, building futures filled with play, progress, and joy for children from their first session to every milestone. We meet kids where they are—at home, in schools, in the community—and help them grow through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Every day is about connection, compassion, and celebrating breakthroughs big and small. We live our TRUE values: Transparency, Respect, Understanding, and Excellence. As a Behavior Specialist, you will use play, games, and evidence-based strategies to help kids build communication, social, and life skills. You will bring energy and compassion to each session, whether it’s at a child’s home, one of our centers, or out in the community. You will follow personalized plans designed by clinical leaders, celebrating small wins that lead to big growth. This is a flexible, on-the-go role where no two days look the same. Prior experience is not required, as CSD provides training and support every step of the way.
