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. We were intentionally built to be different, placing intention, quality, and meaningful impact at the center of everything we do. 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 that is highly personalized, responsive, and collaborative from the very first phone call. We are guided by compassion, integrity, and a belief that every child and family deserves exceptional support, not a one-size-fits-all model. 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. What We Do 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, community spaces, and our center) because research consistently shows this leads to the most meaningful and lasting outcomes. 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. In addition to home- and community-based services, we offer center-based care, occupational therapy, and diagnostic assessments, allowing families access to a seamless, coordinated support within one aligned, high-touch system. 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.

Training, communication, and preparation are priorities here, so you can focus on connecting with children and doing meaningful work without feeling rushed or alone. We are intentional about creating a workplace where BTs feel supported, prepared, and proud of the care they provide. If you’re looking for a team that invests in you and your growth, you’ll feel at home here. Role Overview As a Behavior Technician at Elevated Kids, you play a meaningful, hands-on role in supporting young children and their families through engaging, play-based care in everyday environments.

Each BT is thoughtfully paired with a dedicated CQE coach who provides individualized guidance and encouragement. During your first 90 days, you’ll receive structured coaching focused on building confidence and fidelity in Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBI).

In addition to CQE coaching, you’ll receive weekly, in-person clinical supervision from your supervising BCBA. Together, these layers of support ensure you’re never working in isolation and always have access to feedback, problem-solving, and mentorship. We believe that when BTs are well-supported, everyone benefits, especially the children and families we serve. Our training model is designed to help you feel capable, confident, and proud of the care you provide from the very beginning.
