Autism Jobs in Southern New Mexico
If you’re searching for a meaningful career in autism services or Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), you’re in the right place. At Mariposa Autism Service Center in Southern New Mexico, we offer life-changing opportunities for professionals who want to support children and families through evidence-based care. Whether you’re new to the field or looking to grow in your career, there are many ways to make a difference.
What Types of Jobs Support Children with Autism?
There are several roles that directly support individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) — each one essential to helping clients build communication, social, and daily living skills. Common ABA and autism-related jobs include:
- Registered Behavior Technician (RBT): RBTs work directly with children and teens to implement behavior plans and track progress. Training and certification are required, but no prior experience is needed to begin.
- Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA): BCBAs design and oversee behavior plans, provide clinical supervision, and support both clients and families. A master’s degree, certification, and licensure are required.
- Behavioral Therapist or Interventionist: These professionals use ABA principles to support clients through one-on-one sessions at home, in school, or in the community.
- Social Skills Group Facilitator: Leads structured sessions focused on peer interaction, emotional regulation, and relationship-building.
- Care Coordinator or Case Manager: Works closely with families to ensure therapy schedules, insurance approvals, and goals are aligned with the child’s needs.
- Support Staff or Administrative Roles: These positions help keep our services accessible, organized, and family-friendly.
If you’re passionate about helping children thrive, there’s a place for you in this field — whether you’re starting out as an RBT or advancing toward a BCBA career.
