The Registered Behavior Technician provides individualized behavioral support to clients/children with autism and other developmental needs under the supervision of a qualified clinical supervisor. Responsibilities include implementing behavior intervention and skill-acquisition programs, collecting objective data, completing professional documentation, supporting client safety and independence, and communicating appropriately with supervisors and other members of the care team. The student will receive and implement clinical feedback during regular supervision and will independently carry out assigned responsibilities within the scope of the treatment plan between supervisory meetings.

Tasks:

The student will perform the following professional and pre-professional duties:

Review assigned treatment plans, behavior-support procedures, and skill-acquisition programs before providing services.
Implement individualized ABA programs targeting communication, social, behavioral, adaptive, and daily living skills under the direction of a qualified clinical supervisor.
Use evidence-based teaching procedures, including reinforcement, prompting and fading, task analysis, modeling, natural-environment teaching, and generalization strategies.
Implement approved antecedent and response strategies for challenging behavior while following established safety procedures and remaining within the RBT scope of practice.
Collect accurate and objective data on client behavior and skill development during each session.
Complete timely, detailed, and professional session notes and other required clinical documentation.
Prepare instructional materials, visual supports, data sheets, and activities based on the client’s treatment goals.
Communicate professionally with caregivers, supervisors, and other team members while maintaining client confidentiality and appropriate professional boundaries.
Participate in weekly supervision meetings and direct observations, ask relevant questions, review performance, and demonstrate implementation of supervisory feedback.
Independently organize and complete assigned session responsibilities between supervision meetings while recognizing and reporting situations that require additional clinical guidance.

Training:

The student will receive an initial general employer orientation covering Amada ABA’s mission, workplace policies, professional conduct, confidentiality and HIPAA requirements, mandated reporting, safety and emergency procedures, incident reporting, and documentation expectations. Before working independently, the student will review the assigned client’s treatment plan and behavior-support procedures and participate in job shadowing, modeling, and supervised practice. Training will follow a competency-based format that includes instruction, modeling, rehearsal, observation, and feedback.

The student will participate in weekly one-on-one supervision meetings to review performance, client progress, data collection, session documentation, challenging situations, and professional development goals. Supervisors will also conduct direct observations and provide immediate verbal feedback, modeling, and written follow-up when appropriate. De-identified examples, templates, and training materials will be provided to support accurate data collection and professional documentation. Additional training will address reinforcement, prompting and fading, behavior-management procedures, professional boundaries, ethical responsibilities, and recognizing when supervisory assistance is needed. The student will have access to the supervisor between scheduled meetings for questions, guidance, or support.

Implement individualized skill-acquisition and behavior-support programs with fidelity under the supervision of a qualified clinical supervisor.
Collect accurate and objective behavioral data and complete timely, professional session documentation.
Professionally receive, clarify, and apply supervisory feedback to improve performance and client support.
