At All About the Journey, our behavior technicians are professionals who have completed or are willing to complete a minimum of a 40-hour intensive training in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), have successfully passed a competency assessment administered by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and received a passing score on the Registered Behavior Technician exam through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board in order to become a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). All behavior technicians are continually supervised by a contracted BCBA for the Agency on a weekly basis and engage in behavior analytic professional development activities. Behavior technicians are responsible for the direct implementation of skill-acquisition and behavior-reduction plans developed by the BCBA. The behavior technician may also collect data and conduct certain types of assessments (e.g., stimulus preference assessments) under the supervision of a BCBA. The behavior technician is not responsible for the designing of interventions, conducting in-depth assessments, or developing skill acquisition or behavior reduction plans. It is the responsibility of the designated BCBA supervisor of the behavior technician to determine which tasks a behavior technician may perform as a function of his/her training, experience, and competence. The designated BCBA supervisor is ultimately responsible for the work performed by the behavior technician. The RBT is responsible for ensuring the treatment plan goals are conducted however, they are responsible for determining how to implement those goals, what tools to use, and are responsible for ensuring all goals are actively worked on.
