Key Responsibilities

• Implement Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) treatment programs as written and supervised by a BCBA.
• Deliver 1:1 direct therapy in home, clinic, school, or community settings.
• Use evidence‑based teaching procedures such as Discrete Trial Training (DTT), Natural Environment Teaching (NET), task analysis, shaping, and prompting hierarchies.
• Collect accurate, real‑time data on skill acquisition and behavior reduction goals using digital or paper‑based systems.
• Follow behavior intervention plans (BIPs) with fidelity, including reinforcement strategies, antecedent interventions, and crisis‑prevention procedures.
• Support the development of communication skills using AAC devices, PECS, vocal language, or other BCBA‑recommended systems.
• Promote generalization of skills across people, settings, and materials.
• Maintain a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment.
• Participate in ongoing training, competency assessments, and supervision sessions as required by the BACB.
• Communicate professionally with caregivers, supervisors, and team members while maintaining client confidentiality.
• Implement ethical guidelines consistent with the BACB’s RBT Ethics Code.

Qualifications

• Active RBT certification or willing to receive training and pass the RBT exam.
• High school diploma required.
• Experience working with children or individuals with developmental disabilities is highly valued.
• Ability to follow detailed instructions, accept feedback, and implement treatment plans consistently.
• Strong communication, patience, and problem‑solving skills.
• Physical ability to engage in play‑based activities, sit on the floor, lift up to 25 lbs, and move quickly during sessions if needed.

Work Environment

• Sessions may occur in a clinic, home, school, or community setting.
• RBTs work closely with a supervising BCBA and participate in regular team meetings and training.
• Schedules may include afternoons, evenings, or weekends depending on client needs.
