HelpCare Children's Center provides Applied Behavior Analysis therapy to individuals with autism and other neurodiversity that is person-centered using assent-based assessments, interventions, and goal planning.
Behavior Technicians work with clients in a variety of settings, such as schools, homes, and clinics. Our interventions focus on identifying strengths, building upon those strengths, and teaching skills that are socially valid to individuals and their families. Whether you are new to ABA or continuing in your practice, you will learn, grow, and advance your professional career within HelpCare Children's Center through extensive training, hands-on supervision, and ongoing collaboration.
HelpCare Children's Center requires Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification for our Behavior Technicians and covers all costs associated with maintaining certification.
Advanced behavior technicians who are working towards MA certification are eligible to apply to our Behavior Consultant supervised fieldwork position, leading toward a career as a BCBA.
