The Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) is a paraprofessional certified in behavior analysis. RBTs assist in delivering behavior-analytic services and practice under the direction and supervision of an RBT Supervisor and/or an RBT Requirements Coordinator responsible for all work RBTs perform.

The purpose of ongoing supervision is to improve and maintain your behavior-analytic, professional, and ethical repertoires and facilitate the delivery of high-quality services to clients (i.e., any recipient or beneficiary of behavior-analytic services). All activities must comply with the respective Codes (i.e., RBT Ethics Code for RBTs, Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts for RBT Supervisors, and RBT Requirements Coordinators). For that reason, you must meet the supervision requirements at each organization where you are providing behavior analysis services.

As an RBT, you may perform activities identified on the RBT Task List (2nd ed.)
under the supervision of a qualified supervisor. Your supervisor has the discretion to determine if you can competently perform activities outside of the task list.
