Step into a Rewarding Career as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)

$16–$22.25/hr + Paid Training to become a Registered Behavior Technician.

Children’s Autism Center provides a comprehensive paid training program that allows you to earn the credentials required to become a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and support individuals with autism. If you are interested in working in teaching, healthcare, childcare, psychology, or human services, this role offers an opportunity to make a meaningful difference.

A Registered Behavior Technician provides one-on-one support using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in therapy sessions. ABA is an evidence-based therapy that helps individuals with autism build communication, learning, social, play and daily living skills.

Why join a local non-profit?

Every dollar CAC earns is reinvested into the organization—supporting our clients, staff, and mission—not distributed to owners or shareholders. As a nonprofit, generating revenue is a means to an end: it helps us achieve our mission, rather than being the mission itself. As a staff member of a local nonprofit, you’re part of a community-owned organization, led and operated by people who live in the very communities we serve.
