The BT-1100 Behavior Technician Specialist program offers the tools and training necessary to become a Behavior Technician. A Behavior Technician provides direct implementation of behavior-analytic services but does not design intervention or assessment plans. Students are taught about evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles and strategies for helping individuals with developmental behavior challenges. This online program provides comprehensive training in the areas of Behavioral Health while teaching a fundamental understanding of the use of Medical Terminology and healthcare-specific language spoken in a clinical/medical environment. This training program is based on the Registered Behavior Technician Task List (2nd ed.) and is designed to meet the 40-hour training requirement for RBT credential. The program is offered independent of the BACB.
