As we indicated in our June 28, 2012 press release, the BACB’s Board of Directors authorized the development of this new credential to establish training standards for behavior technicians, the paraprofessionals who implement behavior plans directly with clients. In recent years, the number of behavior technicians has grown along with the demand for quality applied behavior-analytic services. This growth, along with requests to identify and evaluate standards for behavior technicians by regulatory and funding stakeholders, firmly establishes the need for the new credential.  \nThe RBT credential will complement the BCBA-D, BCBA, and BCaBA credentials as an entrylevel program that reflects the education and training necessary for the duties of a behavior technician. Whereas individuals with the BCBA and BCBA-D credentials are generally responsible for service-delivery oversight, and individuals with the BCaBA credential generally operate in a position assisting these supervisors, individuals with the RBT credential will be responsible for implementing, not designing, the behavior plans designed by their supervisors.  \nThe BACB will begin accepting applications for the RBT credential in mid-2014. More details about the registration process will be available at [www.BACB.com](www.BACB.com) in 2014.  \nDevelopment of the RBT Credential  \nThe RBT standards were developed using established practices from the credentialing industry. The first step was the formation of the RBT Workgroup. The workgroup was comprised of 14 individuals representing various stakeholder classes, including 5 BCBA-Ds, 4 BCBAs, 2 BCaBAs, and 2 behavior technicians. The BCBA-D, BCBA, and BCaBA panel members had all trained, supervised, and worked with behavior technicians in service-delivery settings. Workgroup members were also geographically diverse, representing 10 US states and 3 countries. The workgroup met in Atlanta, GA on March 15-17, 2013 and used the DACUM occupational analysis method to develop a draft task list that would serve as the basis of the credential’s educational and assessment requirements.  \nAn online survey of the draft task list (the RBT Job Analysis Survey) was then sent to all BACBcertificants with a request that they complete the survey and direct known behavior technicians to a survey link available at [BACB.com. The purpose of](BACB.com. The purpose of) the survey was to validate the content of the draft task list and identify conduct guidelines relevant to behavior technicians. Overall, 3492 certificants and 273 behavior technicians completed the survey.  \nNOTICE-The information contained in BACB Newsletters may be outdated and should be independently verified via our website.  \nBACB Newsletter – Special Issue on the RBT Credential December 2013  \nContents  \nDevelopment of the RBT Credential  \nEligibility Requirements  \nPractice Parameters & Renewal Requirements Ethics and Discipline  \nThe RBT Workgroup was reconvened on August 12-13, 2013 to review the results of the RBT Job Analysis Survey and use these results to finalize the RBT Task List and guide development of the RBT Competency Assessment. In addition, the workgroup finalized all eligibility standards, renewal requirements, and disciplinary procedures.  \nThe BACB Board of Directors reviewed and approved all recommendations of the RBT workgroup on October 21, 2013.  \nEligibility Requirements  \nThe following are the eligibility requirements for the RBT credential.  \nTo apply for the RBT credential, the applicant must:  \n􀁿 Be at ","cbCaikeoRimsnaxC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikeoRimsnaxC","pdf",1661886,"English","# Development of the RBT Credential\n## RBT Workgroup and job analysis survey\n# Eligibility Requirements\n## Application requirements and fees\n# The RBT Task List\n## Core task domains and scope\n# The RBT Training Requirement\n## Hours, ethics, delivery format, and completion timeline\n# Practice Parameters & Renewal Requirements Ethics and Discipline","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of introducing the RBT credential?\",\"answer\":\"The BACB introduces the RBT credential to establish training and educational standards for behavior technicians who implement behavior plans designed by supervisors.\"},{\"question\":\"When will the BACB begin accepting RBT applications?\",\"answer\":\"The BACB will begin accepting applications in mid-2014, with additional registration-process details available on BACB.com in 2014.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the eligibility requirements to apply for the RBT credential?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants must be at least 18, hold a high school diploma or equivalent, pass a criminal background registry check, complete a 40-hour training program based on the RBT Task List, pass the RBT Competency Assessment, and pay a $50 application fee (with annual renewal fees of $35).\"},{\"question\":\"What training requirements apply for RBT credential candidates?\",\"answer\":\"Training must cover all RBT tasks and relevant responsible conduct guidelines, total at least 40 hours, include at least 3 hours on ethics and professional conduct, be deliverable in person or online (didactic or experiential), and be completed within 90 days by a BCBA or BCaBA.\"}]","BACB Newsletter - Special Issue on the RBT Credential - December 2013 | PDF",1789912978,13]
