Behavior Technician (RBT or RBT-Eligible) – Part-Time, In-Home ABA
High Stride ABA | Bartlett, IL $23.00 – $25.00 per hour | Part-time, afternoons/evenings | W-2 position Prior hands-on ABA experience required — RBT certification not required to apply
Work close to home, with a schedule that fits your life
High Stride ABA provides one-on-one, in-home ABA therapy to children with autism across Illinois. This opening is for a child in Bartlett, with a set weekly schedule — and as we take on more cases in the area, there's room to grow your hours.
You'll join an established team serving families across Illinois — with a BCBA who actually knows your client and answers the phone.
Please note: this position requires prior hands-on ABA experience working with children with autism. We are not able to consider applicants who have no prior ABA experience, and we are not hiring for training positions at this time.
What you'll do
- Provide 1:1 ABA therapy in clients' homes and community settings
- Implement behavior intervention plans (BIPs) written by your supervising BCBA
- Teach communication, social, play, self-help, and daily living skills
- Use reinforcement-based strategies to build positive behavior
- Collect session data accurately and submit notes on time
- Coach and collaborate with parents so skills carry over between sessions
- Attend paid team meetings, training, and supervision
- Follow BACB ethical, confidentiality, and safety standards
What we're looking for
- Willingness to complete RBT certification, with our support, within your first [60] days — or an active RBT credential already in hand
- Prior hands-on ABA experience with children with autism is required — you've delivered 1:1 therapy, run discrete trial and naturalistic teaching programs, taken data during session, and worked from a written BIP. Minimum 3 months of direct ABA experience preferred.
- Comfortable implementing a behavior intervention plan independently in a family's home, with weekly BCBA supervision
- Availability at least [4] weekday afternoons between roughly 3:00 and 7:00 PM, on a consistent set schedule
- Reliable transportation to the client's home in Bartlett.
- Must pass a background check and meet Illinois provider screening requirements
If you've worked as a behavior tech, a 1:1 classroom aide running ABA programs, or in an ABA clinic — and you may have never got around to certifying — you're exactly who we're looking for.
Pay and benefits
- $23.00 – $25.00 per hour, based on certification, experience, and availability
- Predictable, consistent weekly schedule you can plan around
- Consistent, responsive BCBA supervision — not a name on a form
- RBT certification support — we cover the 40-hour training, competency assessment, and exam costs.
- Supervised fieldwork hours available toward BCBA/BCaBA certification
- Additional hours available as we add cases near you — we staff families throughout Illinois
Why RBTs stay at High Stride
We're an established provider serving families throughout Illinois, so your hours are backed by an ongoing caseload rather than a single uncertain referral. And you won't get lost in the shuffle: you'll have a BCBA who responds the same day, knows your client by name, and adjusts the plan when something isn't working. You won't be told to keep running a program that's failing.
