RBT Supervision & Training

We understand that Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) are at the forefront of delivering Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. They are the hands-on professionals who work directly with clients, implementing behavior plans and collecting data that inform treatment decisions. To ensure that RBTs can perform their duties with the highest level of competence and confidence, our RBT Supervision and Training program offers comprehensive support and development.

Why RBT Supervision and Training Matter

The effectiveness of ABA therapy is closely tied to the skills and knowledge of the RBTs who implement it. Proper supervision ensures that RBTs are not only adhering to the principles of ABA but are also applying these principles in ways that are ethical, effective, and tailored to each client’s needs. Furthermore, ongoing training keeps RBTs up-to-date with the latest research, techniques, and best practices, which is crucial for maintaining the quality of care.

Our Approach to RBT Supervision

Our RBT Supervision program is designed to provide continuous oversight and support, helping RBTs develop their skills and grow professionally. Here’s how we do it:

  • Individualized Supervision Sessions: Each RBT receives one-on-one supervision tailored to their specific needs. These sessions focus on reviewing case notes, discussing challenges, and providing constructive feedback. We help RBTs refine their techniques, address any areas of difficulty, and build confidence in their abilities.
  • Ethical and Professional Guidance: Adherence to the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) guidelines is a key component of our supervision. We ensure that RBTs understand and uphold the ethical standards required in their practice, fostering a culture of integrity and professionalism.
  • Behavioral Skills Training: Our supervision includes direct instruction and modeling of essential ABA skills, such as discrete trial training, natural environment teaching, and data collection methods. RBTs have the opportunity to practice these skills under the guidance of an experienced supervisor, allowing them to apply what they’ve learned in real-world scenarios.
  • Goal Setting and Progress Monitoring: We work with RBTs to set clear, measurable goals for their professional development. Regular progress reviews ensure that these goals are being met, and adjustments are made as needed to support continuous growth.

Ongoing Training for RBTs

Training is an ongoing process, and at Positive Behavior Beginnings, we believe in providing RBTs with continuous opportunities for learning and development. Our training program includes:

  • Initial Orientation and Onboarding: New RBTs undergo a comprehensive orientation that covers the fundamentals of ABA, the specific requirements of their role, and the expectations for service delivery at Positive Behavior Beginnings.
  • Advanced Skill Development: For RBTs with more experience, we offer advanced training in areas such as behavior reduction strategies, functional communication training, and the use of technology in data collection and analysis.
  • Workshops and Seminars: We regularly host workshops and seminars on the latest trends and research in ABA therapy. These sessions are designed to keep RBTs informed and equipped with the tools they need to deliver the best possible care.
  • Peer Collaboration: We encourage RBTs to collaborate and share knowledge with their peers. This collaborative approach fosters a supportive environment where RBTs can learn from each other’s experiences and develop new strategies for success.
  • Continuing Education Opportunities: To maintain their certification, RBTs are required to complete ongoing education. We provide access to continuing education courses that not only fulfill these requirements but also enhance the RBTs’ skills and knowledge.
