An RBT stands for Registered Behavior Technician, which is a paraprofessional certification in behavior analysis. RBTs work under the direction and close supervision of an RBT Supervisor and/or an RBT Requirements Coordinator, who is responsible for all work an RBT performs. They provide direct services to individuals with autism or other developmental disabilities, helping them learn new skills and improve their behavior. RBTs use Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) techniques to teach skills such as communication, socialization, and self-care, and to reduce problem behaviors such as aggression and self-injury. They work in a variety of settings, including homes, schools, and clinics, and may work one-on-one with a client or in a group setting. RBTs collect data on the clients progress and report it to the supervising BCBA or BCaBA. Becoming an RBT requires training, which can be completed within an agency, through a training company, or at a community college. RBTs are an essential part of the care team for individuals with autism and play a crucial role in the field of ABA.
