Do you want to become the school-based RBT or Registered Behavior Technician? If you are totally new to this field, you must have one goal of becoming a professional at whatever you do. Mastering your role and duties means much more than doing your tasks listed in the TherapyTravelers RBT Jobs description. This means knowing how the Applied Behavior Analysis principles inform your work and you play an important role in helping the kids to change their behaviors & improve their lives. To become the top RBT professional, it does not have to be the isolating process.
ABA and Registered Behavior Technician
The Registered Behavior Technician is an important credentialed paraprofessional that works with the people getting Applied Behavior Analysis therapy and implements their intervention programs.
Being a registered RBT, you will not be assessing and designing these plans. But, you will be working in close and ongoing supervision from the BCBA to carry it out.
The professional hierarchy reflects various levels of training and education. In order, to become an RBT expert, you need to have the high school diploma, training & certification. And BCaBA needs the undergraduate-level certification. The BCBA-D has got doctoral training and supervision ensures that client (in the school settings, student) gets best quality of care. However, like analysts supervising you, you have to understand the key concepts of ABA.

- Have the high school diploma
