Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) play a crucial role in the implementation of behavior intervention plans, but they do not design the interventions or functional assessment tasks. Their primary responsibilities include:

1. Directly implementing behavior intervention plans developed by the supervising Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) or other qualified professionals.
2. Collecting and recording data on the client’s progress and behavior during intervention sessions.
3. Communicating with the supervising BCBA about the client’s progress, challenges, and any concerns that arise during the implementation of the intervention plan.
4. Maintaining a safe and supportive environment for the client during intervention sessions.

The design of interventions, functional assessment tasks, and overall behavior intervention plans falls under the scope of BCBAs or other qualified professionals who have advanced training and expertise in applied behavior analysis (ABA).
