Behavior Technician

Pay: Starting at $24.00 per hour (Commensurate with education and experience; Pay adders available for camp/school assignments)

Company Mission:

All children have a right to meaningful relationships with others. Our evidence-based programs are designed to eliminate barriers to friendship and empower children to be socially successful throughout their lives.

The Hangout Spot provides specialized play and social skills instruction rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis. We offer thoughtfully structured, experiential learning delivered in small group settings through on-site programs and remote teaching. In addition, we provide 1:1 support to children both on site and in the school and camp setting.

Applied Behavior Analysis is the science of learning and behavior. ABA focuses on understanding behavior within the context of its environment and the why behind it. It does so via the collection of data to identify trends and patterns, and then allows for structuring targeted interventions and teaching with the goal of building skills to replace behaviors that serve as barriers. At The Hangout Spot, we apply the science to understanding learners' social strengths and deficits with the goal of eliminating roadblocks to socially successful interactions.
