The main difference is that a Part Time Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) holds advanced certification, develops treatment plans, and supervises others, while a Part Time Licensed Behavior Technician (LBT) implements these plans under supervision. BCBAs have more responsibilities and require higher credentials, whereas LBTs focus on direct client support following established protocols.
