About The Position

As a Behavior Technician (BT) at Gracent Pediatric Therapy, you will work one-on-one with autistic children aged 2–12.

The role involves spending the majority of the day actively engaged with children, often on your feet. This entry-level position does not require prior clinical experience but seeks individuals who are good with children, remain calm under pressure, and are interested in a career in behavioral health, child psychology, education, or therapy.
