Behavior Technician

Fort Smith - Fort Smith, AR 72903

Position Type Full Time Job Shift Any

At KIDS ABA Services, we believe that learning happens in moments — a shared smile, a new skill, a problem solved, a breakthrough in communication. Every one of those moments matters. Behavior Technicians help create them.

We're looking for individuals who want to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families by helping them build skills that lead to confidence, independence, and long-term growth.

If you want a role where you can see the impact of your work every day, you'll love being part of this team.

As a Behavior Technician, you will work directly with children in 1:1 settings to help build communication, social, play, and daily living skills. You will implement treatment plans designed by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), collect data, and be part of a team committed to ethical, child-centered care.

You'll be trained, supported, and developed — no prior ABA certification required.

Direct Work With Children

• Deliver individualized teaching and therapy activities
• Support communication, social play, and problem-solving skills
• Reinforce skills during structured activities and natural play

Learning & Data

• Collect data on skill acquisition and behavior throughout sessions
• Document session notes accurately and on time
• Share observations with supervising clinicians

Team Collaboration

• Receive hands-on training, coaching, and supervision
• Participate in team meetings and professional development opportunities
• Partner with families to help generalize skills at home and in the community

Professional & Ethical Conduct

• Maintain client dignity, confidentiality, and safety at all times
• Model patience, compassion, and respect in every interaction
• Represent the values and mission of KIDS ABA Services

We are seeking individuals who believe children deserve the chance to become more independent, more confident, and more capable — and who want to be part of that process.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent (college experience preferred)
• Willingness to obtain RBT Certification
• Strong communication and professionalism
• Comfort working with children of varying needs and abilities
• Ability to stay positive, flexible, and patient during challenges
• Reliability — kids depend on consistency
• Willingness to learn evidence-based strategies (no experience required)

Who Thrives in This Role

• Love helping children grow
• Enjoy learning new skills and teaching strategies
• Are curious and open to feedback
• Stay calm under pressure and maintain emotional composure
• Believe that ABA should build independence, capability, and confidence
• Want a job that feels meaningful and rewarding

We believe children achieve their best outcomes when the people serving them feel supported, valued, and developed — not overwhelmed or underappreciated.

Here's what makes our environment different:

No certification? No problem. We provide:

• Paid RBT training
• Exam preparation support
• On-the-job coaching
• Ongoing competency development

Our goal is to help you become an excellent clinician — not just an employee.

Many BTs go on to become:

• Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs)
• Assistant Behavior Analysts (BCaBAs)
• Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs)
• Clinical supervisors & trainers

And we actively encourage that growth.

We care about outcomes, dignity, ethics, and independence. Progress matters. Integrity matters. Kids matter.

We problem-solve together, celebrate wins together, and make sure no one feels like they're doing this alone.

You will watch children:

• ask for what they need
• play more socially
• gain new daily living skills
• reduce frustration
• build confidence

Those changes matter. You will see them.

At KIDS ABA Services, you won't just be clocking hours — you'll be helping children access their world and unlock more of their potential. You'll be joining a team that believes in doing ABA ethically, compassionately, and collaboratively.

If you're ready to grow, learn, and make a difference, we'd love to meet you.
