JOB DESCRIPTION

​

Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) 

Our team offers you the opportunity to grow in the field of behavior therapy with the

support of a mentor and supervisor who will guide you step by step throughout your

professional development. We do more than offer a job, we welcome you as part of a

team committed to teaching, support, supervision, and meaningful service to children

and their families. At the same time, you bring your own experience, motivation,

and dedication to helping our clients make progress through Applied Behavior

Analysis (ABA) therapy.

​

A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) is a credentialed paraprofessional who works

one-on-one with individuals receiving Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to implement

individualized treatment plans. As an RBT, you will work under the close, ongoing supervision

of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). RBTs do not design or assess treatment plans,

but instead provide direct therapy, collect data, and help clients develop meaningful skills

across areas such as communication, behavior, social interaction, and daily living.

​

Here are some duties you can expect to find in an RBT position description:

• Collecting data on client behaviors and skill acquisition through direct observation.

• Implementing individualized treatment goals and behavior intervention plans under BCBA supervision.

• Teaching clients the specific skills outlined in their treatment plans.

• Supporting the development of communication, social, play, and daily living skills.

• Assisting with behavior reduction and skill acquisition programs as directed by the supervising BCBA.

• Communicating professionally with parents and caregivers regarding session updates, as directed by the clinical team.

• Maintaining professionalism, consistency, and accuracy in all therapy sessions and documentation.

​

Requirements for RBT Certification

To be certified as an RBT, you must:

• Be at least 18 years old.

• Have a high school diploma.

•  Complete the requisite 40 hours of training, overseen by a BCBA.

• Undergo a background check within 180 days of submitting your completed RBT Certification Application.

•  Complete and pass the RBT Competency Assessment, in which an assessor observes and evaluates your performance of RBT tasks (in person, live via the internet, or through recorded videos)

• Complete and pass the RBT exam, which is comprised of 75 multiple-choice questions and assesses the applicant’s knowledge of the RBT Task List.

• Abide by the RBT Ethics Code.
