- Implement individualized treatment plans tailored to each child
- Track progress through data collection and session documentation (training provided)
- Support development in behavior, communication, and daily living skills
- Build strong, supportive relationships with children and their families
What We’re Looking For

- Minimum high school diploma
- Experience working with children (ASD experience preferred)
- At least 6 months of ABA or related experience is a plus
- Strong communication skills and attention to detail
- Ability to take feedback, stay organized, and work independently
- Comfortable working in a home-based environment
- Reliable transportation and access to a mobile device for session notes
Preferred (Not Required)
- RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) certification
- Experience supporting individuals with autism or developmental disabilities
