    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.

    Who You Are

    Passionate about helping children gain confidence and independence

    Naturally energetic and silly—you click with kids

    Dependable, detail-oriented, and growth-minded

    Compassionate and patient, even on tough days

    A team player who uplifts and encourages others

    Not afraid to ask questions and seek help

    Committed to integrity in everything you do

    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.

    How Will You Contribute? As a Behavior Technician at UABL, your impact will be felt every single day. You will:

    Work directly with clients to implement individualized treatment plans

    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.

    Required:

    High school diploma or equivalent

    Reliable transportation

    Consistent and dependable attendance

    Experience in ABA, special education, child development, or a related field (1 year preferred)

    Preferred:

    Completion of a BACB-approved 40-hour RBT course

    Assist with hygiene needs (toileting, diapers) across all genders
