RBTs Make a Big Difference at Little Friends

Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT) collaborate with our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) to implement therapies for children served at both our school programs and the Center for Autism.  Our RBTs work towards achieving goals such as recognizing emotions, self-regulation, and following instructions to enhance children’s well-being and encourage independence. Witnessing a child’s progress and development as they learn new skills is a rewarding experience. 

We seek compassionate, patient, and enthusiastic individuals to join our behavior team. This is an excellent opportunity for people looking to acquire new skills and receive certification in supporting behavior needs through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).  Little Friends offers RBT Certification training classes with supervision provided for the exam.  For more information, email our Human Resources Department.
