About The Position

Empower Learning Inc. is a small, center based EIDBI and ABA therapy provider in Eagan, MN. Our team works closely together to provide ethical, compassionate, and effective ABA services while maintaining client dignity, safety, professionalism, and compliance with Minnesota DHS and Medicaid expectations. Alongside center based therapy, we run daily community outings to help clients practice and generalize skills in real world settings. We are seeking a dedicated Behavior Technician to join our team. Behavior Technicians play an extremely important role in our clients' daily lives.

We also offer supervision and internship placements. The majority of our staff are current students or graduates with bachelor's or master's degrees, all at different stages of their careers.
