What is an RBT?

A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) is a paraprofessional certified individual. This individual works under the supervision and direction of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to implement behavior analysis services directly to clients. Primarily RBTs will work directly with individuals between the ages of 18 months to 21 years of age by implementing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. All programs and treatment plans are created by the supervising BCBA and the RBT will be trained on how to implement these programs.
