Who Is An RBT?

An RBT is a Paraprofessional who provides one on one direct care to clients, and implements the behavior-analytic care plan designed by the supervising BCBA.

What Do RBTs Do?

RBTs have the opportunity for growth and development of behavior analytic skills under the BCBA’s supervision. Although RBTs do not design intervention or assessment plans, they are actively involved in the treatment plan implementation and progress of each child that they work with.

Become An RBT In 3 Simple Steps:

Complete A Self- Paced 40-Hour Online Course

The training period, which can be completed in 5-180 days, covers various topics concerning the 1:1 therapy, including:

* Introduction to and importance of ABA
*Discrete Trial Training (DTT)
*Natural Environment Teaching (NET)
*Prompting and Reinforcers
*How to identify and generalize behaviors while working to decrease them.

Complete A Skills Competency Assessment

A BCBA reviews the course information in greater detail and ensures that the RBT applicant has a clear understanding of the ABA techniques. The hands-on assessment requires the applicant to demonstrate a variety of skills with a “client.” When completed, our RBT Supervisor will sign all documents that the applicant is required to upload and submit to the BACB Gateway for approval.

Take The RBT Test

The RBT Exam consists of 85 questions, which include 10 pilot questions that are unscored. RBT applicants have 90 minutes to complete the exam via a proctored Zoom call or at a Pearson testing center. Score reports (pass or fail) are given immediately after completing the exam. The exam can be taken up to 7 times in a one-year period.

RBT Credentials Require Annual Recertification. As Long As You Are Employed At Above And Beyond Therapy, We Will Assist With All That Is Required To Maintain Your RBT Credential, Excluding Recertification Fees.
