Summary

Using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), you will help your patient learn new skills that are truly beneficial to them and their family.  Some of the targets we work on are social, communication, vocational, and life skills. We support patients from two years old to young adults.

The RBT position offers a lot of variety as each day can look a little different! 

 

Why You Should Work a Registered Behavior Technician

  • Build relationships and have fun while you work!
