School Registered Behavior Technician
School Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT) will be using the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in the school setting.
School Registered Behavior Technicians will be thoroughly trained in the science of Applied Behavior Analysis and provide behavioral support for students requiring 1:1 care in the public school environment. The behavioral team (which includes a Board Certified Behavior Analyst- BCBA, Licensed Professional Counselor, Intervention Specialist) analyzes environmental factors that may be inhibiting the student’s ability to access their curriculum and works with the student's support team to most productively achieve their goals. Our School Behavior Technicians receive ongoing training and supervision throughout the treatment by a licensed BCBA in accordance with the standards set forth by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) and applicable state laws. Our ultimate goal is to enable the student to achieve the greatest possible academic, social, and emotional success in their school environment while being mindful to fade behavior support as soon as possible. Effective ABA intervention is not a “one size fits all” approach and should never be viewed as a universal set of programs or drills. On the contrary, our multidisciplinary team customizes the intervention to each learner’s skills, needs, interests, developmental profile, preferences, and setting.
