Join a Top Workplace in Specialized Therapy Enhance your clinical career with AB Spectrum, a team proudly named a Top Workplace by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. We earned this recognition because we foster a culture where people feel valued, supported, and inspired to grow.
AB Spectrum provides specialized ReggioABA™ (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy for young children (ages 1-6). Our foundation is ABA, an evidence-based therapy focused on developing communication, social, and adaptive living skills.
Our Model Our centers utilize a unique Therapy Through Play model. We embrace the principles of Reggio Emilia by devising a Natural Environment Teaching (NET), child‑led learning environment to deliver individualized, high‑quality early intervention services in settings that replicate a natural preschool.
Our Team Join our collaborative team of BCBAs, RBTs, SLPs, and Administration. You'll benefit from cross‑disciplinary collaboration and unique special visits, including music facilitators, pet interactions, and other partnerships.
Role Overview & Core Details We’re seeking compassionate, reliable individuals to provide 1:1 Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to children ages 1–6 with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
As a Behavior Technician, you’ll work directly with children in a clinic‑based setting, helping them build critical life skills through our unique, play‑based ReggioABA™ approach. You’ll be trained and supported by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) every step of the way.
This is a physically and emotionally active role. You’ll spend much of your day on the floor with children, supporting them as they learn to communicate, potty train, and manage big emotions. At times, children may engage in behaviors such as screaming, biting, or hitting—you’ll be trained to respond calmly and professionally.
Reliability is key: families depend on consistent, committed staff to help their children grow. Attendance and punctuality are essential from your very first day of paid training through your work in the clinic.
