At Potential Inc. , we believe in the power of potential - specifically, the potential within every individual with Autism. As a Behavior Technician Intern with Potential, you will do the same work and receive the same training as our Behavior Technician staff. Behavior Technicians play a pivotal role in transforming lives using the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), a vital therapy for children ages 2-18 with Autism. As a Behavior Technician, you'll engage one-on-one with clients, implementing tailored care plans that reflect their unique strengths, needs, and experiences. This position allows you to dive deep into focus areas like cognitive, communicative, social, emotional, and adaptive functioning, making it an ideal fit for aspiring educators, childcare professionals, healthcare enthusiasts, or psychology buffs. If you thrive in a one-on-one setting and yearn to see the immediate impact of your efforts, this opportunity is perfect for you!
To thrive as a Behavior Technician Intern at Potential Inc. , you'll need a lively blend of skills and enthusiasm! Engaging with active children and adolescents requires a playful spirit and the ability to keep pace with their energy. Basic proficiency with technology is essential, as you'll access client plans, collect data, write session notes, and complete timesheets efficiently. Being receptive to feedback from your clients' Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) is crucial, as it helps you refine your techniques and enhance your effectiveness during future sessions.
