What Does It Mean To Earn Your Certification As A Behavioral Technician and Medical Office?

A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) works in clinical settings under the supervision of Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) to provide treatment plans for patients like autistic children or developmentally disabled adults.
