ABA stands for: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA started in the 1960s with Skinner. It is based on the science of learning and behavior. Behavior Analysis helps us to understand how behavior works, how behavior is affected by the environment, and how learning takes place.

The goal is to increase behaviors that are helpful and decrease behaviors that are harmful or affect learning. ABA can help:

• Increase language and communication skills
• Improve attention, academic skills, play skills, social skills, memory, executive functioning skills
• Decrease problem behaviors (tantrums, not listening, aggressive behaviors, addictive behaviors)

This is a credentialed 40-hour training, to prepare for the RBT and ABAT exam. That means that you can choose what certificate you want when you finalize the course, giving you limitless opportunities! The 40-hour course will prepare the learner to take the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) Competency Assessment exam, and the Qualified Applied Behavior Analysis Credentialing Board’s (QABA) exam. 

The RBT training is based on the RBT Task List 2nd edition and is designed to meet the 40-hour training requirement for the RBT credential. This program is offered independent of the BACB. 

This ABAT training is credentialed and approved by the QABA, to prepare you for the Applied Behavior Analysis Technician (ABAT) exam. 

The Registered Behavior Technician™ (RBT) is a paraprofessional who practices under the close, ongoing supervision of a BCBA, BCBA-D or BCaBA. The RBT is primarily responsible for the direct implementation of behavior-analytic services. The RBT does not design intervention or assessment plans. It is the responsibility of the RBT supervisor to determine which tasks a RBT may perform as a function of his or her training, experience, and competence.

The Applied Behavior Analysis Technician® (ABAT) is a paraprofessional who practices under the close, ongoing supervision of a QBA, or QASP-S. The ABAT is primarily responsible for the direct implementation of behavior-analytic services. The ABAT does not design intervention or assessment plans. It is the responsibility of the ABAT’s supervisor to determine which tasks an ABAT may perform as a function of his or her training, experience, and competence.

The RBT and ABAT training is for educators, parents and other professionals who would like to learn evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles and strategies for helping clients, and family members with developmental challenges, various disorders and/or behavior challenges. In addition, ABA can be used in management processes as well.

We offer ABAT and RBT credentialed 40-hour courses; Verbal Behavior; Behavior Management; Parent Training and Reinforcement strategies.  We are continuously developing other courses. 

This is a 40-hour training program that covers the RBT Task list (2nd edition) and QABA requirements, the relevant ethical code elements and an overview of the BCBA/QBA; BCaBA/QASP-S; and RBT/ABAT roles.

The ABAT and RBT training covers a variety of topics that are necessary for an individual to pursue a career as a Registered Behavior Technician or Applied Behavior Analysis Technician, working directly with individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders and other developmental disabilities.

After receiving your 40-hour course completion certificate, you are required to find and work in conjunction with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) or a Qualified Behavior Analyst (QBA). The assessment is complete when the Behavior Technician demonstrates competency in each task as determined by the supervising BCBA or QBA.

A registry of Board Certified Behavior Analysts is available through the BACB’s website. You can also find a Qualified Behavior Analyst (QBA) on the QABA’s website. You can also contact us through this website, and ask for our consultation services.
