Play Based Behavioral Therapist (Paid Training)
About The Position
Cortica is looking for dedicated, compassionate Behavior Technicians to join our growing team and help us design and deliver life-changing care for children with neurodevelopmental differences.

We utilize a strength-based, neurodiversity-affirming ABA therapy model, combining neuroscience and developmental models to empower each child to thrive.
