Description
At KIDS ABA Services, we believe that learning happens in moments — a shared smile, a new skill, a problem solved, a breakthrough in communication. Every one of those moments matters. Behavior Technicians help create them.
We're looking for individuals who want to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families by helping them build skills that lead to confidence, independence, and long-term growth.
If you want a role where you can see the impact of your work every day, you'll love being part of this team.

As a Behavior Technician, you will work directly with children in 1:1 settings to help build communication, social, play, and daily living skills. You will implement treatment plans designed by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), collect data, and be part of a team committed to ethical, child-centered care.
You'll be trained, supported, and developed — no prior ABA certification required.

Deliver individualized teaching and therapy activities
Support communication, social play, and problem-solving skills
Reinforce skills during structured activities and natural play
Learning & Data

Participate in team meetings and professional development opportunities
Partner with families to help generalize skills at home and in the community
Professional & Ethical Conduct

Represent the values and mission of KIDS ABA Services

High school diploma or equivalent (college experience preferred)
Willingness to obtain RBT Certification
Strong communication and professionalism
Comfort working with children of varying needs and abilities
Ability to stay positive, flexible, and patient during challenges
Reliability — kids depend on consistency

Stay calm under pressure and maintain emotional composure
Believe that ABA should build independence, capability, and confidence

Why Join KIDS ABA Services

Here's what makes our environment different:
Training & Certification Support
No certification? No problem. We provide:
Paid RBT training

Clinical supervisors & trainers
And we actively encourage that growth.
Mission Over Metrics
We care about outcomes, dignity, ethics, and independence. Progress matters. Integrity matters. Kids matter.

reduce frustration
build confidence
Those changes matter. You will see them.
