About The Position

Elevated Kids is a boutique, BCBA-owned early autism care provider that delivers individualized, family-centered care for toddlers and young children. Its approach blends ABA with Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBI), using developmentally appropriate, play-based strategies in homes, preschools, and community settings. Parent coaching and caregiver partnership are central to the care model. The Behavior Technician provides hands-on, one-on-one support to young children during daily routines and play. The technician follows each child’s lead, creates engaging learning opportunities, implements care plans under the guidance of a supervising BCBA, and builds trusting relationships with children and caregivers. The role includes communication with families and the care team, participation in feedback and training, and consistent attendance and preparation. BTs receive individualized coaching from a Clinical Quality & Empowerment (CQE) coach, structured coaching during the first 90 days, and weekly in-person clinical supervision from a supervising BCBA. Services take place in home, community, preschool, childcare, or other early learning settings. The service area is Lititz and surrounding communities, with commuting of up to 30 minutes expected. The schedule is collaboratively planned, predictable, and flexible, with opportunities to add hours when available. Pay is $24–$28 per hour, based on experience.
