As a Behavior Therapist, you will play a crucial role in delivering Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services to children aged 6-22, helping them develop essential skills and improve their quality of life. Your work will involve implementing skill acquisition and behavior programs tailored to each child's needs. You will be responsible for conducting electronic data collection using Catalyst, ensuring accurate tracking of each child's progress.

The position requires a commitment to using restraint and hold techniques as learned through SOLVE training, which will be provided upon hire.

The work environment is dynamic, requiring you to be on your feet for extended periods and proficient in using a computer for data entry and communication. We offer comprehensive training that caters to various learning styles, along with ongoing support from experienced Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). This role not only provides a competitive salary based on education and experience but also includes benefits such as health, dental, and vision insurance, long-term disability insurance, and generous vacation and personal time. Additionally, full-time staff are eligible for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, which can significantly alleviate student loan debt.
