What are the responsibilities and job description for the Behavior Technician position at Ascend Behavior Partners?
Description
As an early childhood health Behavior Technician (BT) at Ascend Behavior Partners, you won’t find our values statements on a coffee mug. Instead, you will find it in our DNA, where it shows in every interaction with clients, families, and our fellow “Ascenders.”
Join our mission of partnering with families to build a strong foundation for their children with an autism diagnosis in early childhood and beyond using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Make an impact on children with autism with our play-based approach in an environment that can lead to the most significant change: in their own home providing 1:1 therapy.
