At Center for Social Dynamics (CSD), we believe that every child deserves a chance to shine. We're a passionate team on a mission to open up a world of possibilities for individuals with autism and other developmental needs—through science, compassion, and a whole lot of heart.

From our very first session to each milestone we celebrate, we bring the power of play, connection, and evidence‑based care to every moment. With services that are as unique as the individuals we support, we meet kids where they are—at home, in schools, and in communities—and guide them on a path toward growth.

We live our TRUE values—Transparency, Respect, Understanding, and Excellence—in everything we do. As a fast‑growing leader in the field, we're known for our vibrant culture, hands‑on training, and career pathways that help you grow just as much as those we serve.

At CSD, we don’t just change lives—we light them up.

As a Behavior Specialist at CSD, you’ll play a key role in supporting children with autism. Using strategies backed by science (Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA), you’ll help kids build important life skills—like communication, social interaction, and daily routines—in their homes, at our centers, or in community settings. You’ll follow a personalized plan created by our clinical team and bring energy, compassion, and structure to each session.

Whether you're playing games, guiding through tasks, or celebrating a small win, your support helps children grow in big ways. This is a flexible, on‑the‑go role perfect for someone who’s passionate about making a difference and thrives in dynamic environments. Training is provided, and you'll always have support from our experienced clinical leaders.
