Our Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) work under the ongoing supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to provide individualized, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services for young autistic children and their families. RBTs work with the child and models for families ways to create engaging learning opportunities that build meaningful skills while respecting each child's communication style, sensory needs, interests, and autonomy. Services are provided primarily in children's homes and community settings through collaborative, compassionate, and play-based interactions.
