Centria Autism·Pleasant Ridge, Michigan
Implement individualized behavior intervention plans for children with autism under BCBA guidance. Teach communication, social, and daily living skills while reducing interfering behaviors through evidence-based techniques.
We are looking for enthusiastic individuals to join our team as Behavior Technicians.
As a Behavior Technician, you will have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children with autism.
In this role, you will work one-on-one with children, implementing individualized behavior intervention plans under the guidance of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
You will use evidence-based techniques to teach communication, social, and daily living skills while reducing interfering behaviors.
We are looking for candidates who are passionate about helping children with autism reach their full potential.
You will need to be patient, compassionate, and able to work well in a team environment.
We will provide comprehensive training so that you are equipped and empowered to help each child, even if you don’t currently have experience.
Children can be unpredictable and potentially confrontational, so this role is not for the weak of spirit, mind, or body.
Part of the joy of working with kids is exercise!
Our clients move, so you need to be comfortable standing, walking, sitting, grasping, reaching, bending, kneeling, crouching, squatting, lifting, and at times carrying children or objects that weigh up to 50 pounds.
At the end of each day, you will go home knowing that you have made a meaningful impact on the life of a child and their family.
Join us and become a part of a dedicated team that is changing lives for the better.

Market context
In Michigan, Registered Behavior Technician roles are commonly tied to growing ABA and school-based support needs, so employers often look for candidates who can start quickly and work consistently with children or clients. These positions can be competitive because they require a high school diploma or GED, background clearance, CPR, First Aid, TB certification, and the physical ability to lift up to 50 pounds.
