What is RBT training and what does a part-time RBT do?

RBT training refers to the education and preparation required to become a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), a credential offered by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). RBTs work under the supervision of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) to implement behavior intervention plans, usually for individuals with autism or other developmental disorders. Part-time RBTs perform these duties on a less-than-full-time basis, often working flexible hours to accommodate clients' schedules or their own availability. The training typically includes 40 hours of coursework, passing a competency assessment, and clearing a background check before taking the RBT exam.
