What is a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)?
An RBT is a paraprofessional who is part of a broader care team for individuals with autism. RBTs are certified to provide direct, one-on-one therapy to children with autism using applied behavior analysis (ABA therapy). This type of care aims to help children build the skills and independence that will set them up for a lifetime of possibilities.
It’s a great entry level autism job and this role transforms into the official “Registered Behavior Technician” once you receive your formal certification. This does not require additional schooling, just the completion of 40 hours of training and initial competency assessments.
