At North Shore Pediatric Therapy (NSPT), we do more than provide therapyâwe create spaces where autistic children are respected, supported, and empowered. We donât believe in one-size-fits-all care or outdated models. Our approach is assent-based, neuroaffirming, and team-driven, with deep respect for each childâs individuality, autonomy, and potential.
As a Behavior Technician, youâll be part of that mission. Youâll help kids build communication, independence, and confidenceâand youâll be supported every step of the way by a team that values your growth just as much as theirs.
What a Day Looks Like:
Being a Behavior Technician is active, hands-on, and deeply meaningful. Youâll spend most of your day working 1:1 with kids (ages 2â12), helping them build skills that support their growth at home, school, and in everyday life.
Hereâs 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 flexibleâevery child is different, and every day brings something new
Itâs not a desk jobâitâs a roll-up-your-sleeves, be-there-in-the-moment kind of role. But if you love working with kids, itâs one of the most rewarding ways to spend your day.
Why North Shore Pediatric Therapy:
Weâre not your typical ABA clinicâand weâre proud of that. At NSPT, we donât force compliance or chase cookie-cutter milestones. Instead, we prioritize:
- Assent-based care that honors boundaries and centers the childâs voice.
- Collaborative, interdisciplinary teamworkâyouâll 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 youâre never alone.

Whether youâre 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:
