The interview process was straightforward and focused mainly on scenario-based questions and my experience working with children. It was a single interview rather than multiple rounds, and the interviewer asked me to explain how I would handle specific situations that could come up during sessions. They also asked about my background working with children and my comfort level with implementing behavior plans.

Question 1
What would you do if a client began engaging in a challenging behavior during a session?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ABS Kids (Riverside, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
Had an interview where they asked how comfortable I am with kids, and how I would deal in certain situations. Got offered a job and everything was good from there!
I applied online. I interviewed at ABS Kids (Winston-Salem, NC) in Sept 2024
Interview
From application to beginning training was about 2 to 3 weeks. They started with a basic screening, covering a few background questions and scheduled main interview. This interview was virtual, conversational, and with scenario based questions. If you are not yet an RBT, they want to know about your background working with kids, critical thinking, creative problem-solving and understanding of child development in general. If you have experience with kids on the spectrum, it is certainly a bonus, but they really are looking for a genuine desire to work with children. They will also discuss your availability with follow ups for skills test, and background checks before an offer.
