Behavior Technician ABA Fundamentals

About this course

The Behavior Technician specialization provides foundational knowledge in behavior analysis and practical strategies for supporting individuals with developmental and behavioral challenges. Participants will gain hands-on skills in behavior acquisition techniques, functional assessment, verbal operant instruction, and both antecedent and consequence-based interventions. By the end of the program, learners will be able to implement structured teaching methods, identify functions of behavior, apply behavior intervention strategies, and support communication development through mand, tact, and intraverbal training. IMPORTANT: This specialization is not designed to prepare students for national certification, such as the Registered Behavior Technician credential offered by the BACB. Enrollees will gain the foundational/fundamental knowledge on subject matter relevant to the profession. While references may be made throughout the training to Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) or Behavior Technicians (BTs), to gain industry certification, a more comprehensive program must be completed through enrollment via approved/eligible schools such as MedCerts.
