About this role

Step Forward ABA is hiring Behavior Technicians to work directly with children with autism in the Denver area, delivering one-on-one ABA therapy in both office and in-home settings. The role centers on teaching functional skills, implementing individualized behavior plans, collecting data, and coordinating with behavior analysts and families to support each child's progress toward greater independence and social competence.

You'll need RBT certification or be willing to complete it within 30 days of starting. The position demands physical capability—lifting up to 30 pounds and keeping pace in a dynamic environment—plus reliable transportation and flexibility to work in clients' homes. Background in childcare, education, mental health support, or youth-facing work is preferred but not required; what matters most is your ability to engage meaningfully with children and follow evidence-based protocols.
