At North Shore Pediatric Therapy (NSPT) , we do more than provide therapy—we create spaces where autistic children are respected, supported, and empowered. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all care or outdated models. Our approach is assent-based, neuroaffirming, and team-driven , with deep respect for each child's individuality, autonomy, and potential.

As a Behavior Technician , you'll be part of that mission. You'll help kids build communication, independence, and confidence—and you'll be supported every step of the way by a team that values your growth just as much as theirs.

What a Day Looks Like :

Being a Behavior Technician is active, hands-on, and deeply meaningful. You'll spend most of your day working 1 : 1 with kids (ages 2–12), helping them build skills that support their growth at home, school, and in everyday life.

Here's what that actually looks like :

• Playing games on the floor to work on language or social skills
• Helping a child learn how to ask for help, tie their shoes, or transition between tasks
• Managing tough moments like meltdowns or elopement with patience and a calm presence
• Tracking progress and taking session notes so your BCBA can update therapy plans
• Communicating with your team throughout the day to problem-solve, celebrate wins, and adjust support as needed
• Staying flexible—every child is different, and every day brings something new

It's not a desk job—it's a roll-up-your-sleeves, be-there-in-the-moment kind of role. But if you love working with kids, it's one of the most rewarding ways to spend your day.
