What is a part time clinic based RBT?

A Part Time Clinic Based RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) is a certified professional who works under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to deliver behavior therapy, usually to individuals with autism spectrum disorder or related conditions, in a clinical setting. The 'part time' aspect means the RBT works fewer hours than a full-time employee, often accommodating personal schedules or other commitments. In this role, RBTs implement behavior intervention plans, collect data, and assist clients in building skills and reducing problematic behaviors. Clinic-based positions typically involve working at a facility rather than in clients' homes or community settings. RBTs must complete specific training and pass a competency assessment to maintain their certification.
