Job ResponsibilitiesImplementing ABA therapy plans, data collectionSimilar responsibilities, focusing on behavior support

Both RBT and Behavior Technician roles involve implementing ABA therapy and require similar certifications. The terms are often used interchangeably, with RBT being the official credential recognized by BACB.

In most settings, they refer to the same role focused on supporting individuals with behavioral needs.

What are RBTs?

RBTs, or Registered Behavior Technicians, are paraprofessionals who work under the supervision of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) to implement behavior intervention plans, primarily for individuals with autism and other developmental disorders. Their duties include collecting data, teaching new skills, and helping to reduce challenging behaviors. RBTs are required to complete specific training and pass a certification exam to ensure they understand the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). They play a vital role in supporting clients' progress and helping them achieve their goals in various settings, such as schools, clinics, or homes.

How does an RBT typically collaborate with Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and other team members during therapy sessions?

As a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), you will work closely under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), who designs and oversees the treatment plan. In daily practice, RBTs implement these plans by working directly with clients, tracking progress, and providing feedback to the BCBA. Collaboration with other team members, such as speech therapists or occupational therapists, is common to ensure a holistic approach to client care. Regular communication and teamwork are essential, as BCBAs rely on RBTs to report data and share observations, which inform ongoing treatment decisions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), and why are they important?

To thrive as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), you need a high school diploma, completion of RBT training, and certification through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB), along with basic understanding of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles. Familiarity with data collection systems, behavior tracking software, and adherence to strict ethical guidelines are typically required. Strong communication, patience, and the ability to build rapport with clients and their families are standout soft skills. These competencies ensure effective implementation of behavior intervention plans and promote meaningful progress for individuals with developmental or behavioral needs.

Behavior Technician BT – Not just a job. A calling


????Kimberly, WI | ???? Full-Time | ???? $17.00–$18.00/hour + $750 Sign-On Bonus

We’re looking for a certain kind of person. They kneel down to a child's eye level. They patiently bring the same positivity to the tenth try as the first. They celebrate a kinda tiny win like it's the biggest thing that happened all week…because for that kid, it might be.

We call them teammates who change lives. And we don't need you to have experience to be one. We’ll teach you the skills. But if this sounds like it might be a fit, here's what walking through our door looks like.

  • Clinical leadership that's actually there You're never on an island. You’ll receive strong clinical mentorship, real career pathways into leadership, and colleagues who treat your expertise like it matters. Because it does.
  • Paid training to become a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), with guidance and support from mentors and peers.
  • A culture that supports you driven by the values of collaboration and shared success, not competition

???? What You’ll Do:

You'll work 1:1 with children ages 18 months to 6 years who have a diagnosis of autism, in a center-based environment. Day to day, that means:

  • Delivering Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), guided by individualized treatment plans
  • Building skills through play, connection, and the kind of presence that helps a child feel safe enough to try
  • Tracking progress and documenting sessions using ABA technology
  • Creating a safe, positive environment for every child you work with
  • Preparing for your RBT certification exam within your first 45 days

???? What We Offer:

  • Competitive Pay
    • No RBT yet? Start at $17.00–$18.00/hour with paid training to become an RBT in 45 days
    • RBT certified? Start at $18/hour, with opportunities to grow to $24.50/hour
  • $750 Sign-On Bonus
  • 401(k) with company match
  • $500 referral bonus
  • Paid time off, holiday pay, mileage reimbursement
  • Full health benefits for full-time team members
  • 1:1 client sessions—no group billing or overwhelming caseloads
  • A career pathway to become a BCBA with our BCBA Rise Scholarship program that provides up to $10,000 in financial support for your Master’s degree

???? What we’re looking for:

  • Full-time availability Monday–Friday, between 7:30 AM – 4:30 PM
  • Must be 18 or older with a high school diploma or equivalent
  • Reliability — showing up for scheduled hours and staying on top of administrative tasks
  • Resilience and compassion, especially on the tough days
  • Interest in psychology, education, healthcare, or human services — experience with children is a plus
  • Ability to obtain RBT certification within 45 days of employment — we'll prepare you
  • Physical readiness for the role: pushing, pulling, and lifting up to 35 pounds; sitting on the floor, stooping, standing, walking, and moving quickly alongside kids when needed
