About The Position

Autism and Behavioral Spectrum is seeking a compassionate, reliable Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) to provide 1:1, clinic-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to children ages 2–6 with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The role is physically and emotionally active, involving floor-based play and support with communication, potty training, and emotional regulation. The position may involve responding calmly and professionally to behaviors such as screaming, biting, or hitting, using non-restraint, proactive environmental strategies and reinforcement-based techniques.
