About This Role

As a Behavior Technician, you'll deliver one-on-one ABA therapy sessions with children on the autism spectrum in the New York area. Your days involve implementing structured interventions focused on building communication, social interaction, and daily living skills under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. You'll track progress, maintain detailed session notes, and adjust approaches based on each child's response. This is direct, hands-on work—not administrative tasks. The role suits candidates who are patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely motivated to help children develop meaningful skills. Prior experience in therapy, education, or working with children is valuable but training is often provided for the right person committed to the field.

Frequently asked questions

  • What license do I need to apply?

    An active state license in your discipline (PT, OT, SLP, LCSW, LPC, BCBA, etc.) in good standing. Therapy licensure is state-specific — the PT, OT, and ASLP-IC compacts let you practice in member states without a separate license.

  • Is this a school-year or year-round position?

    School-based therapy roles typically follow a 9- or 10-month school-year calendar with summers off. Outpatient, hospital, home-health, and telehealth positions are year-round with PTO. Both options are widely available — check the job description for specifics.

  • What experience is expected?

    Most therapy roles welcome new grads through mid-career clinicians. Specialty positions (acute care, NICU, pediatric feeding, hand therapy) typically prefer 2+ years plus relevant certifications.
