What is a temporary clinic based RBT?

A Temporary Clinic Based Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) is a paraprofessional who provides applied behavior analysis (ABA) services under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) in a clinical setting for a limited or defined period. RBTs work directly with clients, typically children with autism or other developmental disabilities, to implement behavior intervention plans and collect data on progress. The 'temporary' designation usually means the position is short-term, often to cover staff shortages or during periods of high client demand. These roles require valid RBT certification and a commitment to ethical, effective care.
