Join Cortica as a School Behavior Technician
Empower students. Support families. Advance the standard of neurodevelopmental care.
Cortica is seeking a dedicated and compassionate School Behavior Technician (SBT) to provide 1:1 behavior support to students with autism and other neurodevelopmental differences in school settings. You’ll work closely with educators, caregivers, and Cortica’s clinical team to help students succeed across their school day.
Cortica was founded to fix the fragmented journey families often face when seeking therapies for their children. By blending neurology, research-based therapies, and technology into one cohesive care model, we deliver life-changing neurodevelopmental care—one child, one family, one community at a time.
As part of this mission, we proudly partner with local schools to provide ABA therapy in educational settings. This extension of our care reflects our commitment to supporting children not only in clinics and homes, but also in the environments where they learn and grow.
