Unlocking Abilities Behavior and Learning, located in Morris, IL is looking for a full time Behavior-Technician / Registered Behavior Technician to join our amazing team providing essential therapy services to children.
Who We Are
Unlocking Abilities Behavior and Learning (UABL) is a mission-driven Autism Learning Center founded by a BCBA. We provide high-quality, compassionate ABA and Speech Therapy to children with autism and developmental disabilities, blending proven strategies with genuine connection.
Our supportive team is growing, and we’re looking for an individual who is encouraging, passionate, and ready to make a difference. We value authenticity, collaboration, and celebrating every victory—big or small.

What Does a Behavior Technician Do at UABL?
At Unlocking Abilities Behavior and Learning, our Behavior Technicians (BTs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) are more than just staff—they are mentors, encouragers, and advocates. Working 1:1 with children diagnosed with autism and developmental disabilities, BTs/RBTs use the evidence-based principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to help each child reach meaningful milestones.
You’ll collaborate closely with a supportive team of BCBAs, clinical leaders, and fellow techs in a center-based setting, where the focus is on progress, compassion, and connection.

Teach communication, social, play, and self-help skills
Reduce challenging behaviors using proactive strategies
Celebrate small wins that build toward lifelong independence
Document sessions and collect data to track progress
Act as a positive role model and build trusting relationships with the children you serve
This is not a babysitting or caregiving job—this is an opportunity to build confidence, foster meaningful skills, and change lives.
