    Florece ABA is seeking a compassionate, energetic, and dependable Early Intervention Behavior Therapist / Behavior Technician to provide play-based ABA services to young children and their families.

    Our approach is centered around play, connection, respect, and meeting each child where they are developmentally.

    Spanish-speaking candidates are highly encouraged to apply.

    Our Values

    At Florece ABA, our work is guided by three core values:

    Respect • Compassion • Empathy

    We believe children learn best when they feel safe, supported, understood, and engaged. Our services emphasize child-centered, play-based learning rather than rigid or compliance-focused interactions.

    Career advancement opportunities

    Training and ongoing BCBA support

    Hands-on experience in Early Intervention and play-based ABA

    Opportunity to develop professionally within the field of Applied Behavior Analysis

    Job Summary

    As an Early Intervention Behavior Therapist, you will work directly with young children in their homes and/or community settings under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).

    Sessions are designed to be natural, engaging, developmentally appropriate, and play-based. Rather than simply sitting at a table completing repetitive tasks, you may spend sessions playing with toys, singing songs, reading books, engaging in movement activities, practicing routines, and following the child's interests while creating meaningful learning opportunities.

    You will receive training and supervision to help you implement individualized programs while maintaining a warm, supportive, and neurodiversity-affirming environment.

    Candidates who are not currently RBT certified should be interested and willing to complete the requirements to become a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT).
