This free online course explains ABA and ASD to help you pass your registered behavior technician exam in the USA.

Children with autism and related conditions require compassionate, professional care. ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) professionals play a key role in supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to enhance their skills and contribute meaningfully to their communities. To become an ABA professional in the United States, you must obtain either a BCBA (Board-Certified Behavior Analyst) or RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) certification. This course focuses on preparing you for the RBT certification.

Upon enrollment, you will study five key topics. The first explores ASD, its potential causes, and the various behavioral, communication, and social signs that can aid in its identification. The second topic covers different functions of behavior and how they can be reinforced. Starting with the third topic, the course outlines the RBT certification process, including an analysis of the profession, key differences between BCBAs and RBTs, and details about the RBT examination.

We also provide effective strategies to help you prepare for the RBT exam and guide you through the registration process to become an RBT candidate. Throughout the course, we use clear charts and infographics to simplify the material, making it easier for you to succeed in the RBT exam and start your career as an RBT professional.
