Description
Behavior Technicians have an extremely important, if not the most important job at CORE ABA. They are the teachers of the behavioral contingencies. They are the eyes observing the child in the environment, the hand patting the learner on the back, the voice that people respond to, the data collector, and the force to be reckoned with! The BTs know the learner, their goals, their motivations, and challenges, and is able to see their potential. They are able to recognize socially significant behavior and, using the programs, BIPs, and support from BCBAs, apply scientifically based procedures and document their progress on that path. BTs find value in this process and progress and use the resulting reinforcement in their daily application, by helping the client practice those skills in new ways, creating opportunities that bring the learner closer to using the skill, independently in the natural environment. Our BT’s receive training both on and off-site. We are so grateful to have a wonderful team of BT’s and RBTs who work hard every day!!!The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) created a certification for these technicians known as the Registered Behavior Technician-TM (RBT®). Therapists who have received 40 hours of training, complete a background check, and pass an observational competency are eligible to sit for the RBT examination. C.O.R.E. ABA strives to have all staff certified as Registered Behavior Technicians within three months of employment.
