Shape futures as a behavior therapist
Join us to make a difference in children’s lives and your own. Discover how you can make a profound impact through play-based therapy.
A play partner, caregiver, and scientist—all in one
As a Behavior Therapist or Registered Behavior Technician, you oversee the effective implementation of evidence-based behavior therapy techniques while providing compassionate, dignified care to Soar’s young learners.
Primary play partner
- Teach your clients meaningful, foundation life skills through play and social interaction.
- Craft and curate learning experiences that revolve around activities you do together, and through those activities, children learn critical skills that drive their independence and overall life trajectory.
Caregiver
- Build meaningful relationships with your young clients, their families, and caregivers.
- Help and support them with daily living activities and provide compassionate responses in moments of distress or frustration.
Scientist and data collector
- Closely observe your client’s mood, behaviors, and reactions.
- Track how they perform on the different items you are teaching them to ensure they are mastering those skills.
- Draw conclusions on their progress and report the results to the team to support their ongoing learning and progress.
Work with individual clients as part of a larger team
A behavior therapist’s day is always varied, full, and engaging. The work follows a clear structure and process while each day differs depending on your client’s needs. Be prepared for fun,
fast-paced days!
Core therapy provider
Behavior Therapists spend most of the day conducting individual, 1:1 therapy sessions with their clients. Those sessions are directed entirely by the therapist and provide opportunities for developing core, foundation life skills by learning through play and social interaction. Therapists record their client’s progress in those sessions to ensure that is communicated to the broader team.
Collaborator
As a part of Soar’s integrated care model, Behavior Therapist or RBTs overlap and participate in sessions with our Clinicians (BCBAs, OTs, and SLPs) on a daily basis. These provide meaningful opportunities for learning, collaboration, and care coordination key to client progress.
Group learning facilitator
Our unique care model allows for group learning opportunities for clients that mimic the learning a young child might experience in preschool, including centers, art, and circle time. Behavior therapists work collaboratively together to implement these learning experiences for small groups of clients throughout the day.
Parent and caregiver partner
We care deeply about providing meaningful engagement with client families and care providers. Behavior therapists play a key role in developing and sustaining those relationships over time through daily reports to families at pick up and drop off, plus engaging in ongoing family support meetings.
