Description of RBT Certification

The Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) is a paraprofessional certification in behavior analysis. RBTs assist in delivering behavior analysis services and practice under the direction and close supervision of an RBT Supervisor and or an RBT Requirements Coordinator, who is responsible for all work RBTs perform. RBT certification was initially designed for settings where a BCBA or BCaBA is already providing behavior analysis services. Thus, applying to become an RBT is most likely to occur after the applicant has been employed by the organization. They will continue their work assisting qualified BCBAs and or BCaBAs in their service-delivery activities.
