A day in the life
Step 1: Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)
You'll work one-on-one with kids in their homes and schools—building skills, staying steady through the hard moments, and celebrating the breakthroughs.
Step 2: Morning session
You arrive at a family's home. A 4-year-old is working on using words to request instead of grabbing. You practice with his favorite snacks. By the end of the session, he says "cookie" for the first time. His mom tears up. You do too.
Step 3: Afternoon session
You're at a school supporting a 6-year-old during recess. Last month, he played alone. Today, he asks a peer to play catch. You stay back and watch it happen. That's the win.
Step 4: Data & debrief
You log session data while it's fresh. You text your BCBA about the breakthrough. She responds with celebration and next steps.
When a child does something they couldn't do last week, you'll know you helped make that happen. It's not easy work. But it's fulfilling. You feel it in your heart.
This role is a good fit if you:
✔ Find meaning in small, incremental progress
✔ Stay patient and consistent, even when it's tough
✔ Communicate clearly with families and colleagues
✔ Want mentorship and professional development, not just a paycheck
✔ Are reliable (families are counting on you showing up)
✔ Enjoy working directly with children and building real relationships
