Child Autism Therapy Support – Entry-Level, Paid Training
About The Position
At Gracent Pediatric Therapy, we do more than provide therapy—we create spaces where autistic children are respected, supported, and empowered. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care or outdated models. Our approach is assent-based, neuroaffirming, and team-driven, with deep respect for each child’s individuality, autonomy, and potential. As a Behavior Technician, you’ll be part of that mission. You’ll help kids build communication, independence, and confidence—and you’ll be supported every step of the way by a team that values your growth just as much as theirs. Being a Behavior Technician is active, hands-on, and deeply meaningful. You’ll spend most of your day working 1:1 with kids (ages 2–12), helping them build skills that support their growth at home, school, and in everyday life.
Requirements

Nice To Haves
- Have experience working with children (babysitting, coaching, camps, classrooms, etc.)
- Are calm, flexible, and eager to learn—even in tough moments.

Responsibilities
- Playing games on the floor to work on language or social skills
- Helping a child learn how to ask for help, tie their shoes, or transition between tasks

- Tracking progress and taking session notes so your BCBA can update therapy plans
- Communicating with your team throughout the day to problem-solve, celebrate wins, and adjust support as needed
- Staying flexible—every child is different, and every day brings something new
Benefits
- Real-time support and mentorship from experienced clinicians
- Flexible schedules (start times at 8am, 9am, 1pm, or 3pm) that fit your life
- Monthly team events, shoutouts, and a clinic culture that genuinely cares
