Realistic Job Preview

This is a hands-on behavioral health position. Many clients receive ABA services because they engage in behaviors that interfere with learning, safety, relationships, or independence. Behavior Technicians should expect to work with individuals who may exhibit:

  • Tantrums
  • Aggression, including hitting, pushing, pinching, scratching, kicking, or biting
  • Property destruction
  • Self-injurious behavior
  • Refusal or non-compliant behaviors
  • Emotional regulation challenges
The goal of ABA is not to punish behavior but to teach meaningful replacement skills that help individuals communicate effectively, achieve greater independence, and experience a better quality of life.

Who Thrives in This Position?

Successful Behavior Technicians are typically individuals who:

  • Remain patient and composed during challenging situations and can respond professionally when clients engage in behaviors such as tantrums, aggression, or emotional dysregulation.
  • Enjoy working directly with people and making a meaningful impact by helping individuals develop communication, social, behavioral, and independent living skills.
  • Are coachable and open to feedback, recognizing that ongoing training, supervision, and skill development are essential components of the role.
  • Are active, dependable, and adaptable, with the ability to work in dynamic environments while maintaining professionalism, consistency, and attention to client safety.
Physical Requirements

  • Frequent standing, walking, bending, kneeling, and sitting on the floor

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 4/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
