Registered Behavior Technician | Center-Based | No Travel - Falls Church, VA (NW DC and nearby areas)
About The Position
Bright Day Pediatric Therapies is hiring a center-based Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) to provide one-to-one ABA therapy to children at its clinic in NW Washington, DC. The role works with a small group of children each day in individual and small-group settings. Sessions are active and play-based, guided by individualized treatment plans developed by BCBAs. BCBAs provide real-time observation, program adjustments, guidance, and support throughout the day. RBTs use evidence-based ABA strategies—including prompting, reinforcement, shaping, and structured skill-acquisition programs—to support communication, emotional regulation, attention and participation, peer and social engagement, and independence. The workday is structured, active, and varied, with therapists rotating among a small group of children in approximately two-to-four-hour blocks. Sessions take place at the clinic; there is no travel to clients’ homes or school-based work. Children also participate in structured small groups with peers. When schedule gaps arise, clinic support tasks may be assigned, such as preparing therapy materials, organizing treatment spaces, restocking supplies, or completing intake calls. Documentation is completed using Passage Health, an electronic medical record system. For RBTs pursuing BCaBA or BCBA certification, the company may build indirect hours into the role and supports professional growth and promotion from within.
