Job Overview

This role is for an ABA Therapist to provide direct, one on one therapy based on applied behavior analysis principles.

Positions are available throughout the Minneapolis, MN area in various settings like homes, clinics, or schools.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Implement behavior intervention and skill acquisition programs as written by a supervising BCBA.
• Collect and record accurate data on client behaviors and progress during sessions.
• Assist with conducting assessments and helping to prepare client progress reports.
• Maintain a positive, therapeutic environment and use proactive strategies to reduce challenging behaviors.
• Communicate effectively with the clinical team and family members about session outcomes.

Requirements

What It's Like In This Role

You'll spend your day actively engaged with clients, which is both physically involved and deeply rewarding. The work happens wherever your client needs support; often in their home or at a community center. You're part of a clinical team but often work independently during sessions, using specific data collection apps and online platforms for your notes. Schedules are built around client availability, so some afternoon or early evening hours are typical.

Why You'll Like This Opportunity

The field offers real flexibility; many employers provide part time or full time options that can fit around other commitments. Every case is different, so you're constantly learning and applying new techniques. There's a clear path for growth into senior therapist or supervisor roles if you pursue further certification.
