Job Description

Grow your clinical skills. Partner with families. Make a lasting impact.

At FirstSteps for Kids, our Lead Instructors are experienced Registered Behavior Technicians or Behavior Technicians who work side by side with in-person BCBAsto deliver exceptional ABA services and meaningful outcomes for children and families.

Just as importantly, you'll help families experience the joy and confidence that comes from watching their child achieve milestones they once thought were out of reach. By partnering with caregivers and teaching them how to continue their child's learning outside of therapy, you'll help create meaningful progress that lasts far beyond each session.

• Partner closely with in-person BCBAs to implement individualized treatment plans and continue growing your own clinical skills.
