Behavior Technician with Paid RBT Certification

Behavior Technician with Paid RBT Certification About this position

Join a Top Workplace in Specialized Therapy

Enhance your clinical career with AB Spectrum, a team proudly named a Top Workplace by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. We earned this recognition, which is based entirely on employee feedback, because we foster a culture where people feel valued, supported, and inspired to grow.

AB Spectrum provides specialized ReggioABA™ (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy for young children (ages 1-6). Our foundation is ABA, an evidence-based therapy focused on developing communication, social, and adaptive living skills.

Our centers utilize a unique Therapy Through Play model. We embrace the principles of Reggio Emilia by devising a Natural Environment Teaching (NET), child-led learning environment to deliver individualized, high-quality early intervention services in settings that replicate a natural preschool.

Join our collaborative team of BCBAs, RBTs, SLPs, and Administration. You'll benefit from cross-disciplinary collaboration and unique special visits, including music facilitators, pet interactions, and other partnerships.

We are seeking resilient, high-energy individuals to deliver 1:1 Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to children ages 1–6. This is a clinical, data-driven role focused on teaching fundamental life skills—not a traditional mentoring or talk-therapy position. Using our ReggioABA™ approach, you will transform play-based interactions into structured, scientific learning opportunities designed to help students reach critical developmental milestones.

In this role, you function as a clinical teacher, not just a caregiver. Working under the direct supervision of a BCBA, you will implement specific protocols to help children master everything from verbal communication to potty training. Because we focus on functional skill acquisition, your day will be physically active and highly structured, requiring constant engagement and precise data collection.

Success in this position requires a “professional-first” mindset. You will be the steady presence a child needs during challenging moments, which includes following a clinical plan to manage behaviors such as screaming, hitting, or biting. We are looking for candidates who value consistent, daily practice and are committed to meeting measurable goals through a scientific framework.
