Here's what that actually looks like:
- Playing games on the floor to work on language or social skills
- Helping a child learn how to ask for help, tie their shoes, or transition between tasks
- Managing tough moments like meltdowns or elopement with patience and a calm presence
- Tracking progress and taking session notes so your BCBA can update therapy plans
- Communicating with your team throughout the day to problem-solve, celebrate wins, and adjust support as needed
- Staying flexible—every child is different, and every day brings something new
Why Gracent Pediatric Therapy:
We're not your typical ABA clinic—and we're proud of that. At Gracent, we don't force compliance or chase cookie-cutter milestones. Instead, we prioritize:
- Assent-based care that honors boundaries and centers the child's voice.
- Collaborative, interdisciplinary teamwork—you'll work alongside OTs, SLPs, and mental health professionals.
- Supportive leadership and mentorship, with real-time coaching and thoughtful feedback.
- A people-first culture where growth is structured, wins are celebrated, and you're never alone.
Whether you're here to learn or build a full career, we make sure your development is intentional and supported. You'll start with paid RBT training and certification in your first month (plus a raise once you pass) and receive performance reviews and raises every 6 months. From there, your path can look like:
- Behavior Therapist (BT) → Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) – Certified with hands-on experience and real mentorship
- RBT → Clinical Fellowship Student (ACC) → Lead ACC → Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) – For BCBA students, we help with restricted and unrestricted hours, test prep, and becoming a strong, compassionate clinician.
- RBT → Lead RBT – For those who want to grow as leaders without pursuing credentialing as a BCBA, SLP, or OT.
Perks & Benefits:
- 💪 Real-time support and mentorship from experienced clinicians
- 📆 Flexible schedules (start times at 8am, 9am, 1pm, or 3pm) that fit your life
- 🎉 Monthly team events, shoutouts, and a clinic culture that genuinely cares
- 💥 A career that makes a tangible impact on the lives of kids and families
- 🩺 Health, dental, and vision insurance for full-time team members
- Have experience working with children (babysitting, coaching, camps, classrooms, etc.)
- Are calm, flexible, and eager to learn—even in tough moments.
- Believe in supporting kids through respect and empathy, not compliance.
- Want to work somewhere that feels good and does good.
- Are curious about long-term careers in ABA, education, child psychology, OT, SLP, or mental health.
- Starting at $18/billable hour, with increases for experience, education, and certification. You'll increase to $20 once you receive your RBT certification.
- Must have the physical stamina and mobility to actively engage with children, including sitting, standing, walking, bending, lifting up to 45 pounds, and effective visual and auditory communication.
- High school diploma or GED required
- Afternoon/evening (starting at 3pm) and Saturday availability required
