Registered Behavioral Technician
CurrentRegistered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) are highly trained professionals who work under the supervision of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) to provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. They hold specialized certifications that equip them to work directly with individuals with autism. Although RBTs may not hold advanced degrees, they complete extensive training in ABA principles, including implementing evidence-based treatment methods like discrete trial training and task analysis. Their training also covers managing challenging behaviors, adhering to ethical guidelines, and concludes with a rigorous certification exam.
