40 Hour RBT Training Course

Become a Registered behavior Technician!

Special Learning’s Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) 2.0 Training Course is a challenging program designed not only to meet, but to exceed the 40-hour training requirement for RBT certification established by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) 2nd Edition RBT Task List. The program is offered independent of the BACB.

The Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) credential is an internationally recognized credential for individuals implementing ABA programs. This credential is issued by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB), an international organization that governs the field of behavior analytics and certifies Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). Go here to learn more: www.bacb.com.

With the introduction of the BACB’s RBT 2.0 Task List, we combined new technology and ABA evidence-based strategies within each module – all of which are delivered with experienced RBT and Behavior Analyst Supervisors. The trainers in our programs have over 100 years of combined experience in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis.

This is the only RBT 2.0 Program that delivers the best-in-class online experience for individual practitioners and for organizations to train their staff and to enable them to apply their knowledge from day 1. Presenters in this course include experts like Dr. Jon Bailey, BCBA-D and Dr. Peter Gerhardt, BCBA-D.

Our program was designed to have students succeed and is unique in that it not only covers task list items outlined by the board, but also includes other important topics RBTs will encounter while working in the field of behavior analysis like:

  • Working in multiple settings (i.e. home-based, clinic-based, school-based, community-based)
  • Working across different populations (i.e. Persons with ASD, ADHD, Dual-diagnosis, behavioral diagnosis etc.)
  • Real-life ethical situations and how to maneuver through them taught by Ethics guru Dr. Bailey, BCBA-D
  • Transition across a life-span with Transition expert Dr. Peter Gerhardt, BCBA-D

Individuals who complete our training will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to accurately implement applied behavior analysis techniques and strategies with a high degree of treatment fidelity. Our objective is to create practitioners that can effectively and ethically carry out the duties and responsibility of an ABA practitioner without geographical boundaries preventing individuals from receiving treatment.  (Our previous RBT 1.0 course was a great success with self-reporting from students that 94% of those who utilized our past course passed the exam on their first attempt.)

Journey to Independence

Community-based program designed to support families on waitlist

Being an RBT for me was extremely fun because where were you going to find a place where you can be completely silly without having to worry what people thought about you? This was the only job that made me feel like I could make a dramatic difference while being myself.

I also liked to be surrounded by people that had the same goals of wanting to help kids and the teamwork made the job much easier and more enjoyable.

Change and progress was the ultimate goal for our kiddos. The early intervention program was seriously only a miracle because I saw changes in the kiddos that from day one, you wouldn’t even recognize who they were.

Changes from being able to utter 3-4 words where they can only make a syllable from when they started, the behavior decreases in which kiddo that used to engage in 30-40 0 self-harm to only half, learning how to wait during games, table work where they use to swipe and drop to the floor if they had to.

My favorite was when the parents would tell us what amazing progress they were making at home. I used to tear up and felt for these parents so much because it was already difficult for them and now, they can trust and rely on ABA and the therapists knowing their goal was ours.
