- Opportunities to pick up additional hours on Saturdays.
- Fully Paid Training & Certification: Kickstart your career with Cortica with a comprehensive 3-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.
Who We’re Looking For:
- Experience working with children (experience with autism is a plus!)
- 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!).
- Ability to consistently travel between client sites within a 30–40-minute radius using reliable transportation.
- 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. Be part of a progressive approach that combines neuroscience and developmental models to empower each child to thrive.
