What's the Difference Between a Bt and Rbt?

A Behavior Technician (BT) is a person who has received training to deliver ABA therapy. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) is a person who has received extensive training in ABA and is registered with the Behavior Analysis Certification Board.

What is higher than RBT?

A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is a graduate-level certification in the field of ABA. BCBAs are practitioners who work independently, to provide a range of services to clients in order to help them modify their behaviors, meet behavior-related goals, and improve their overall quality of life.

Can you be a BCBA without being an RBT?

While becoming a BCBA requires a master's degree, you only need a high school diploma to be an RBT. BCBAs must have many supervised hours of training and pass a 90-minute exam.
