At North Shore Pediatric Therapy (NSPT), we do more than provide therapy—we create spaces where autistic children are respected, supported, and empowered. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care or outdated models. Our approach is assent-based, neuroaffirming, and team-driven
, with deep respect for each child’s individuality, autonomy, and potential.

As a Behavior Technician
, you’ll be part of that mission. You’ll help kids build communication, independence, and confidence—and you’ll be supported every step of the way by a team that values your growth just as much as theirs.

Being a Behavior Technician is active, hands‑on, and deeply meaningful. You’ll spend most of your day working 1:1 with kids (ages 2–12), helping them build skills that support their growth at home, school, and in everyday life.

Here’s what that actually looks like:

• Playing games on the floor to work on language or social skills
• Helping a child learn how to ask for help, tie their shoes, or transition between tasks
• Managing tough moments like meltdowns or elopement with patience and a calm presence
• Tracking progress and taking session notes so your BCBA can update therapy plans
• Communicating with your team throughout the day to problem‑solve, celebrate wins, and adjust support as needed
• Staying flexible—every child is different, and every day brings something new

It’s not a desk job—it’s a roll‑up‑your‑sleeves, be‑there‑in‑the‑moment kind of role. But if you love working with kids, it’s one of the most rewarding ways to spend your day.

• Assent-based care that honors boundaries and centers the child’s voice.
• Collaborative, interdisciplinary teamwork
  —you’ll work alongside OTs, SLPs, and mental health professionals.
• Supportive leadership and mentorship
  , with real‑time coaching and thoughtful feedback.
• A people‑first culture where growth is structured, wins are celebrated, and you’re never alone.

Whether you’re here to learn or build a full career, we make sure your development is intentional and supported. You'll start with paid RBT training and certification in your first month (plus a raise once you pass) and receive performance reviews and raises every 6 months
. From there, your path can look like:

• Behavior Therapist (BT) → Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) – Certified with hands‑on experience and real mentorship
• RBT → Clinical Fellowship Student (ACC) → Lead ACC → Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) – For BCBA students, we help with restricted and unrestricted hours, test prep, and becoming a strong, compassionate clinician.
• RBT → Lead RBT – For those who want to grow as leaders without pursuing credentialing as a BCBA, SLP, or OT.

• Real‑time support and mentorship from experienced clinicians
• Flexible schedules (start times at 8am, 9am, 1pm, or 3pm) that fit your life
• Monthly team events, shoutouts, and a clinic culture that genuinely cares
• A career that makes a tangible impact on the lives of kids and families
• Health, dental, and vision insurance for full‑time team members

• Have experience working with children (babysitting, coaching, camps, classrooms, etc.)
• Are calm, flexible, and eager to learn—even in tough moments.
• Believe in supporting kids through respect and empathy, not compliance.
• Want to work somewhere that feels good and does good.
• Are curious about long‑term careers in ABA, education, child psychology, OT, SLP, or mental health.

• Starting at $19/billable hour, with increases…
