What is a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)?

Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) are therapists that work one-on-one with children diagnosed with autism and directly implement an ABA treatment plan designed and guided by BCBAs. RBTs help the children acquire new skills and work toward the goals of improving communication, social interactions, problem-solving and adaptive living skills.
