About the job
Help Kids Show the World How Awesome They Are
At DV Therapy, Behavior Technicians are the people kids see most. You're the one on the floor building skills one session at a time, celebrating the first time a child asks for a snack with words, or makes it through a transition without a meltdown. That work matters, and we treat it that way.
You'll deliver ABA sessions in our Palmdale center and in clients' homes, following treatment plans written by your BCBA. You won't be figuring it out alone. Your BCBA and Program Manager supervise you, give you feedback in real time, and keep training you so you get better at this every month.
Our whole company runs on a "Fan First" approach. We want families to leave as fans, not just clients. The sam e goes for our team. If you're early in your career and want to learn ABA the right way, or you're an experienced RBT thinking about where this career goes next, this is a good place to grow.

"I've worked in ABA-only clinics before. Having ST and OT down the hall means I'm learning something new every week, not just from trainings, but from lunch conversations."
- Devin R., BCBA, Santa Fe Springs
"The multidisciplinary setup here means I never feel like I'm guessing in my own silo. If I have a question about a kid's motor planning, the OT is right there, not three referrals away."
- Jordan K., RBT, Palmdale
"I love that leadership actually invests in team building. It's not just a pizza party once a year, it's a whole culture of showing up for each other."
- Selena M., Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant, Santa Fe Springs
