What is one of your responsibilities as an RBT?

One of the primary responsibilities of a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) is to engage in direct instruction with clients. This role involves implementing behavior intervention plans under the supervision of a qualified behavior analyst. Direct instruction encompasses teaching specific skills, modifying behavior through reinforcement techniques, and ensuring that the strategies are being applied consistently across various settings. The RBT works closely with clients to facilitate learning through structured teaching methods, which can include breaking down tasks, providing prompts, and using positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors.

Engaging in direct instruction also allows the RBT to build rapport with clients, making it easier to support their learning and development effectively. By focusing on direct instruction, the RBT plays a critical role in the overall success of the behavior plan and the achievement of the client's goals.
