• Part-time roles with flexible 5-, 3- or 2-day-per-week options.

• Opportunities to pick up additional hours on Saturdays

• Fully Paid Training & Certification: Kickstart your career with Cortica with a comprehensive 4-week, in-person orientation that includes hands-on training, a Board-Certified Autism Technician (BCAT) exam review, and full coverage of your exam fees. We're invested in your success from day one.

• Supportive Environment: Collaborate with and receive expert coaching from Lead BTs, ABA Assistant Supervisors, and ABA Supervisors who champion your growth.

• Career Advancement: Opportunities to grow your career by advancing to a BCBA role, ascending the Behavior Technician Clinical Ladder, or serving in a corporate support role.

• Learn from Experts in Other Fields: Partner with BCBAs and experts in speech-language therapy, music therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy as well as counselors, pediatricians, neurologists, and nurse practitioners.

Your Impact & Responsibilities:

• Provide 1:1 and group behavior-analytic services to children with autism and other neurodevelopmental differences.

• Implement positive behavior strategies developed with your BCBA.

• Use evidence-based practices to create meaningful progress for families.

• Document session data to track and support treatment goals.

• Collaborate closely with families and supervisors to build supportive environments.

• Follow Cortica's crisis protocols, including de-escalation and mandated reporting.

• High School or equivalent, bachelor's or master's degree.

• Willingness to obtain your BCAT credential within 90 days of your start date (We provide all training!).

• A valid driver's license and reliable transportation (within a 30–40-minute drive radius).

• Tech-savvy with EMR systems and Microsoft Office tools.

Our Inclusive Culture:

• Transdisciplinary Approach: Collaborate with experts in various fields to care for the whole child.

• Collaborative Process: Develop individualized care plans alongside families and clinicians.

• Strength-Based, Neurodiversity-Affirming Model: Focus on building on each child's unique strengths rather than emphasizing deficits.
  

Join Cortica's team and make a meaningful impact by applying a strength-based, neurodiversity-affirming ABA therapy model . Help children recognize and build on their unique abilities, fostering positive relationships and skills that translate across home, school, and community settings.
