Full Job Description

Your experience in behavioral support transfers directly into special education classrooms.
Whether you’ve worked as a Behavior Technician, Behavioral Specialist, Behaviour Therapist, or Behavior Interventionist, the skills you use every day are exactly what SPED classrooms need.
