About the Role

We're not your average ABA provider—we're a team of change‑makers helping kids with Autism reach their potential, one goal at a time. Whether it’s learning to brush their teeth, play with peers, or simply say what they need—we’re here for the journey.

As an Associate Behavior Therapist at Accel Therapies, you’ll:
• Get in there and play—you’ll deliver 1:1 therapy sessions using the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
• Track progress like a pro—you’ll collect data on every goal, every day. Our tech tools make it seamless.
• Be the reason a kid says their first word or makes a new friend—you’ll teach real‑world, meaningful skills that last a lifetime.
• Collaborate with a dream team—work closely with experienced Program Supervisors and BCBAs who’ve got your back.
• Keep learning, always—because we believe great therapists are built, not born.

Who Are We Looking For?
• You are at least 18 years old (required)
• You’ve got your high school diploma or GED (required)
• You have full-time availability from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday (required)
• You have your own reliable transportation
• You're reliable, communicative, and eager to learn
• You enjoy working with kids and may have experience in childcare, tutoring, or therapy (a plus!)
• You're playful, patient, and positive
