ABA Therapist/Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)

Build Meaningful Connections. Create Lasting Impact.

At Spark Learning, we're more than an ABA provider—we're a community dedicated to helping children thrive.

As a locally owned, BCBA-led organization, we use a naturalistic, play-based approach to therapy that meets children where they are and helps them build the skills they need to succeed. Our team believes learning happens best through meaningful relationships, engaging experiences, and individualized support.

Whether you're an experienced RBT or exploring a future career in ABA, psychology, education, speech therapy, or child development, Spark offers the mentorship, support, and hands-on experience to help you grow.

What You'll Do

As an RBT at Spark Learning, you'll work directly with children and families to support skill development, independence, and confidence through play-based, evidence-based therapy.

Responsibilities include:

- Implement individualized ABA therapy programs under the supervision of a BCBA.
