What does a Behavior Technician do?

A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) works in clinical settings under the supervision of Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) to provide treatment plans for patients like autistic children or developmentally disabled adults. The field is focused on science and human behavior and how to alleviate problematic behaviors in individuals. Behavior Technicians may also work in schools or home settings to assist patients in reducing problematic behaviors or learning daily living skills.

  • Demonstrate an understanding of the soft skill expectations of an allied healthcare professional
  • Provide direct implementation of behavior-analytic services based on the BCBA’s recommendations
  • Teach children language/communication, social skills, daily living/adaptive skills, pre-academic skills, and more while recording and analyzing data along with the BCBA
  • Comply with HIPAA/HITECH, OSHA, CMS and other healthcare regulations and laws, including the BACB
  • Comprehend and define behavior clearly and set a measurement technique
