WHAT IS A REGISTERED BEHAVIOR TECHNICIAN?
A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) plays a vital role in the life of an individual with autism. Using the techniques proven through the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), the RBT will work one-on-one with a child to reduce, redirect, and even eliminate behaviors.
These services are provided in the family’s home where the child is most comfortable and more inclined to have a positive response to sessions. Not only does ABA impact the child by helping them communicate and complete basic and advanced life skills... but it also impacts the family by providing them with a way to truly connect with their child.
We understand that you may not have experience in ABA and certainly don’t expect you to provide services on day one. We provide in-depth, comprehensive PAID training, help you complete your RBT certification, and set you up for success with ongoing training, support, and supervision.
The work of an RBT is not always easy, and it is not for everyone, but in this role... YOU WILL CHANGE LIVES! If you want your work to make a difference, please read on.
