- An Entry into the Mental Health Field: RBT jobs allow you to develop experience in conducting 1-on-1 therapy, note taking during a session, and collecting data, which are all useful skills for this field!
How RBTs Make an Impact
Direct Support for Children with Autism
RBTs provide intensive 1-on-1 therapy to children with autism. This therapy is personalized and play-based to help kids learn new skills, improve their behavior, develop their socialization, practice their motor skills, and enhance their overall quality of life.
Implementation of Evidence-Based Practices
RBTs are trained to implement evidence-based ABA Therapy, which has passed treatment evaluations administered by the US Surgeon General and American Psychological Association. RBTs ensure that children receive scientifically validated treatments that are personalized to their specific needs and goals.
Promotion of Independence
RBTs focus on teaching kids functional skills, such as communication, socialization, self-help, and academic skills. Learning these foundational skills empowers children to become more independent and better equipped to navigate daily life.
Data-Driven Decision-Making
RBTs collect data on a child’s progress during therapy sessions. This data allows for continuous assessment and modification of treatment plans to ensure that interventions are effective and personalized to a patient’s changing needs.
Enhancement of Social Skills and Communication
RBTs play a crucial role in helping children improve their social skills, communication, and interactions. This can lead to increased social inclusion, identifying the best means for a child to communicate, and improve relationships with peers and family members.
Family Support and Education
RBTs provide regular updates with families on their child’s progression. They work closely with families by providing education and support. By helping the family to understand ABA principles, RBTs enable the family to reinforce learning and behavior strategies at home.
