"Classroom Experience from Virtually Anywhere"

LEVEL: Beginner and Intermediate

The Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) credential is an internationally recognized credential for individuals implementing ABA programs. This credential is issued by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB), an international organization that governs the field of behavior analytics and certifies Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). Go here to learn more: www.bacb.com.

With the introduction of the BACB's RBT 2.0 Task List, we combined new technology and ABA evidence-based strategies within each module - all of which are delivered by experienced RBT and Behavior Analyst Supervisors. The trainers in our programs have over 100 years of combined experience in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis.

We are proud to announce that this program was in development for 2 years  This is the only RBT 2.0 Program that delivers the best-in-class online experience for individual practitioners and for organizations to train their staff and to enable them to apply their knowledge from day-1. Presenters in this course include experts like Dr. Jon Bailey, BCBA-D, and Dr. Peter Gerhardt, BCBA-D.

Special Learning’s Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) 2.0 Training Course is a challenging program designed not only to meet but to exceed the requirements established by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) 2nd Edition RBT Task List. Our new program was designed to have students succeed and is unique in that it not only covers task list items outlined by the board but also includes other important topics RBTs will encounter while working in the field of behavior analysis:

• Working in multiple settings (i.e. home-based, clinic-based, school-based, community-based)
• Working across different populations (i.e. Persons with ASD, ADHD, Dual-diagnosis, behavioral diagnosis etc.)
• Real-life ethical situations and how to maneuver through them taught by Ethics guru Dr. Bailey, BCBA-D
• Transition across a life-span with Transition expert Dr. Peter Gerhardt, BCBA-D

Individuals who complete our training will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to accurately implement applied behavior analysis techniques and strategies with a high degree of treatment fidelity. Our objective is to create practitioners that can effectively and ethically carry out the duties and responsibilities of an ABA practitioner without geographical boundaries preventing individuals from receiving treatment.  (Our previous RBT 1.0 course was a great success with self-reporting from students that 94% of those who utilized our past course passed the exam on their first attempt.)

RBT Credential Renewal Requirements

Note: In order to maintain your RBT credential, 5% of the time you spend delivering behavior analytic services MUST be supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) or RBT Supervisor monthly. If you complete the Competency Assessment through Special Learning, upon initial application with the BACB, our Assessor may be listed as the Responsible Certificant for a period of 14 days upon completion of the Competency Requirement. We strongly suggest that you identify a permanent BCBA supervisor prior to filing your RBT application with the BACB.   

If you do not have access to a BCBA supervisor, Special Learning offers virtual supervision on a case-by-case basis.
