Child-Led, Play-Based Behavior Therapist (BT/RBT)
About The Position
Elevated Kids is a boutique, BCBA-owned early autism care provider specializing in a natural, play-based approach to ABA that is thoughtful and relationship-driven for toddlers and young children. Our care model is grounded in Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBI), the gold standard for early autism care. By blending the science of ABA with developmental and relationship-based practices, we support meaningful progress across communication, social engagement, play, and daily life skills, with parent coaching as a central pillar of our care. At Elevated Kids, families experience a concierge-style level of care; highly personalized, responsive, and collaborative. We are guided by compassion, integrity, and a belief that every child and family deserves exceptional support. Our team is made up of thoughtful, driven professionals who value collaboration, clarity, and continuous improvement. We believe high-quality care and a healthy, supportive work environment go hand in hand. Ideas are welcomed, feedback is constructive, and people are supported to do their best work together. Elevated Kids provides individualized, family-centered autism care through a boutique, interdisciplinary model designed to meet children and families where they are. Our services are delivered in the settings where young children naturally learn and thrive, homes, preschools, and community spaces. Our approach emphasizes developmentally appropriate goals, authentic connection, and strong caregiver partnership. Parent coaching and caregiver involvement are woven into every layer of care, ensuring progress extends beyond sessions by empowering families with the tools and confidence to support their child beyond sessions. Every child’s care is intentionally designed, closely supported, and continuously adapted, reflecting our belief that early autism care should feel personal, collaborative, and elevated, while remaining grounded in best practice and integrity. Our model represents a modern evolution of ABA, prioritizing developmental science, family partnership, and sustainable, high-quality care that supports long-term clinician fulfillment.
