ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on operational aspects of the job of being an ethical Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). Supervisors will expect RBTs to keep them informed of any problems that they might be having, especially if the problem involves giving an assignment that is out of the RBT’s range of competence. Codes 3.01 and 3.02 relate to students' relationship with their supervisor, which should be close and professional. The intent of this Code item is to discourage RBTs from freely giving advice or providing behavior-analytic services to friends, relatives, or neighbors. The RBT title was created as an entry-level position in the behavior analysis delivery system. Board Certified Behavior Analysts have advanced training in behavioral theory and applied research and are expected to create individualized assessments, task analyses, and functional assessment procedures, as well as designing contingency systems to motivate clients.
