DSP (Direct Support Professional) - NYC Metro

At Vibrant ABA we are on a mission to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged kids on the spectrum in our local community. These awesome kids often don't have the resources they need to reach their full potential. That's where Vibrant ABA comes in! We're here to provide personalized ABA Therapy to these amazing children and their families in all 5 boroughs of New York, West Chester, Albany & Long Island.

Our team is all about ensuring our DSPs get the support they need. After all, it’s the dedicated care professionals who are the ones opening doors of opportunity for these kids.

We've also teamed up with our care partners at Paradigm Health, who offer Physical, Occupational & Speech Language Pathology services. So, when a family is with us, they get all the support they need in one place.

If you're excited about being part of an innovative, caring team that's all about helping families in our local communities and trying to figure out how to start a career working with children on the spectrum, we'd love to hear from you!
