Behavior Technician | Development & Community Center

Behavior Technician or Registered Behavior Technician

Pay: 15.00–20.00 per hour

Location: 10450 72nd St., Pleasant Prairie, WI – Sonnenberg Consultants Development & Community Center

Sonnenberg Consultants is hiring Behavior Technicians and Registered Behavior Technicians to join our ABA team at our Development & Community Center (DCC) in Pleasant Prairie, WI.

At the Development & Community Center, our focus is helping learners build skills that support greater independence throughout childhood and into adulthood. Services are designed to connect learning to everyday routines, functional skills, communication, social development, and experiences that help individuals participate more independently in their homes, communities, and daily lives.

As a Behavior Technician, you’ll provide hands-on, individualized ABA support under the guidance and supervision of experienced Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). You’ll work directly with learners throughout their day, helping them practice meaningful skills in a structured and supportive environment.

No prior ABA experience is required for entry-level candidates. Sonnenberg provides paid training, ongoing supervision, and opportunities to develop your skills and advance within the organization.

If you enjoy working with children and young adults, staying active, building relationships, and helping others develop greater independence, this can be a great opportunity to build experience in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), behavioral health, education, or human services.

What this role is really like

As a Behavior Technician, you’ll provide hands-on, individualized support while helping learners build communication, social, coping, independence, and functional skills identified by their clinical team.

This is an active, highly dynamic role where learners may engage in behaviors that interfere with learning, participation, communication, or safety, including behaviors that may be significant or dangerous. You’ll implement individualized behavior support plans, help reduce interfering behavior, teach replacement and coping skills, and use appropriate de-escalation strategies when learners become escalated or dysregulated. Resilience and flexibility are essential, as you’ll need to remain calm, pivot when plans change unexpectedly, and adjust your approach based on what the learner needs in the moment. You’ll also help learners build resilience by teaching them to tolerate changes, cope with frustration, communicate their needs, and recover from difficult moments.

You’ll work closely with BCBAs and other team members, receiving ongoing training and coaching to respond safely and effectively to challenging situations. This position is best suited for someone who can stay composed under pressure, think on their feet, accept feedback, and remain focused on the learner even when situations are unpredictable or difficult.

What you’ll do

• Implement individualized ABA programs with guidance and supervision from BCBAs
• Support learners during structured activities, transitions, routines, and other daily activities
• Use structured activities and evidence-based strategies to support skill development
• Help learners build communication, social, functional, and daily living skills
• Support the development of independence across age-appropriate activities and routines
• Follow individualized behavior support plans and respond to challenging behavior according to training and established procedures
• Collect and document information about learner activities and progress using provided technology
• Communicate observations and questions to supervisors and members of the learner’s team
• Maintain a safe, supportive, and professional environment for learners and coworkers
• Participate in ongoing training, supervision, and feedback

What we’re looking forRequired qualifications:

• High school diploma or GED
• At least 18 years old
• Reliable transportation
• Ability to be active throughout the workday, including floor-based activities
• Ability to lift up to approximately 20 lbs.

Helpful, but not required:
