RBTs

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.

• 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. 

• 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.

• 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.

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.

Kick start your work in Soar’s unique care model through intensive training and onboarding.

Behavior Therapists at Soar have the opportunity to become Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) by month 3 of their tenure in the organization, all on Soar’s dime.

Soar’s RBT Career Progression and Assessment Program, Soar to New Heights, offers opportunities for raises and promotions for RBTs every 3 months.

For those interested, Soar offers a comprehensive practicum experience in pursuing a BCBA certification, including the ability to start occurring hours immediately, clear practicum curriculum, and case supervisor positions for those further into their program.

Whether within Soar or outside of Soar, the skills of an effective RBT translate to many settings including communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and problem solving. Soar’s growing footprint provides many opportunities for RBTs to move into non-clinical roles over time.
