The BHT /BHT-ABA is responsible for providing one-on-one implementation of established treatment plans working directly with children and adolescents facing behavioral and emotional challenges.

These school-based opportunities are ideal for individuals who enjoy working in educational settings and want a consistent daytime schedule aligned with the school calendar. Why Work in a School Setting?

- Build strong relationships with students in their natural learning environment
- Collaborate with teachers, counselors, and school teams
- See real-time growth in students’ academic, social, and behavioral skills
- Enjoy a predictable daytime schedule that supports work-life balance
