Behavior Technician with Paid RBT Certification

Enhance your clinical career with AB Spectrum, a team proudly named a Top Workplace by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. We earned this recognition, which is based entirely on employee feedback, because we foster a culture where people feel valued, supported, and inspired to grow.

AB Spectrum provides specialized Reggio ABA™ (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy for young children (ages 1-6). Our foundation is ABA, an evidence-based therapy focused on developing communication, social, and adaptive living skills.
