What does a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) Do?:

A BT/RBT is a Certified provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA is a science-based practice designed to identify, assess, understand, and then shape behaviors and skills. Through repetition and positive reinforcement, a Behavior Technician/Registered Behavior Technician will help a client to build skills and behaviors that will allow them to more successfully navigate the world around them! A BT/RBT aims to build up their clients' skills and behaviors so they may be able to engage in social relationships, experience increased independence, and improve their overall quality of life.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
