About The Position

Alpaca Health is a multi-state network of independent ABA therapists working in homes, schools, and daycares. The company hires certified Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) as well as people motivated to earn certification. RBTs work one-on-one with children with autism in their homes, classrooms, and communities, following personalized plans from a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
