A Day in the life of a Behavior Technician
As a Behavior Technician, you'll use a proven method called Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to support children and teens in reaching their full potential.
You’ll work one-on-one with clients in their home, school, or one of our welcoming clinics. Each day, you'll help your client learn new skills and reduce challenging behaviors in a fun, supportive, and meaningful way.
What your day might look like:
- Follow a personalized therapy plan created by our clinical team
- Use play, routines, and activities to help your client grow
- Track progress by taking notes and recording behaviors
- Encourage independence and build everyday life skills
- Celebrate every win—big or small!
Don’t worry if you're new to ABA—we’ll provide you with thorough training to ensure you feel confident and prepared. You’ll also have support from our caring, multi-disciplinary team every step of the way.
Every child is unique, and so is our approach. We don’t use cookie-cutter programs—instead, we tailor therapy to fit each client’s needs, interests, and goals.
If you're passionate about helping others, love working with kids, and want to make a real difference, this could be the perfect fit for you!
