What is an RBT internship?

An RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) internship is a supervised training program where individuals gain hands-on experience working with clients, typically children, who have developmental or behavioral challenges such as autism. Interns work under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to learn how to implement applied behavior analysis (ABA) techniques. The internship helps candidates fulfill requirements for RBT certification, such as completing the necessary training hours and passing the competency assessment. This real-world experience is crucial for developing the practical skills needed to become an effective RBT.
