Job Description

The Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) provides direct behavioral support services to students within a school setting under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) or Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA). The RBT works collaboratively with educators, related service providers, and school staff to support students with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental, emotional, or behavioral needs in accessing their educational environment.
