I. SCOPE OF ROLE:
Historically, there was a NYS Department of Health Grant that enabled S:US to establish the “Transition
to Independence Program,” holistic, multi-disciplinary teams designed to: 1) successfully transition
adults in Brooklyn with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) and challenging behaviors
living in institutional settings back to the community and, 2) keep individuals at high risk for future
reliance upon institutional levels of care in the community with appropriate supports.
Our philosophy is to treat all people with respect and dignity and to utilize person-centered supports
that is designed to mobilize self-determination and independence. Thus, increasing a level of self-
awareness and self-understanding to successfully problem solve and meet challenges by learning to
utilize their own resources. By doing so, we aim to achieve our mission to empower persons supported
to facilitate self-determination and independence.
We are seeking self-motivated paraprofessionals who enjoy working in a team setting to join our
Developmentally Disabilities Division as Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT). The role of the RBT is to
assist the Behavior Intervention Specialist (BIS) in training other members of the multidisciplinary team
on how to implement the behavior support plans for the people supported. Data collection is also
considered a significant component of this role as the RBT will be responsible for data collection that will
