Benefits to our Staff:
SVABA staff receive monthly training, mentorship, and session overlaps on each case from the clinical team. This training is highly beneficial to our team members, supporting them in their daily activities. Additionally, SVABA provides an ideal training environment for those interested in a career in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). There are several promotion opportunities available within the company. |

The Behavior Technician (1) A new team member is usually hired as a Behavior Technician (BT). No experience is necessary to be hired as a BT. Once hired, a BT receives 40 hours of training in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). They will be assigned specific learners with whom they will work (and play), and receive immediate and ongoing on-the-job training. LEARN MORE ABOUT BECOMING A BEHAVIOR TECHNICIAN! |
