Job Summary:

At Highlights Healthcare, our registered behavior technicians are professionals who have completed a minimum of a 40-hour intensive training in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), have successfully passed a competency assessment administered by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and received a passing score on the Registered Behavior Technician exam through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board. All registered behavior technicians are continually supervised by an agency BCBA on a weekly basis and engage in behavior analytic professional development activities. Registered behavior technicians are responsible for the direct implementation of skill-acquisition and behavior-reduction plans developed by the BCBA.

The designated supervising BCBA supervisor is ultimately responsible for the work performed by the registered behavior technician.
