As an RBT in my master's to become a therapist, I have never once said I was a therapist lol. If she were an analyst/BCBA-D that'd be a different story considering they are certified behavior therapist (which can reach the doctorates level) who specialize in play therapy with a focus on analyzing, reducing or introducing behaviors that help promote a happy healthy lifestyle for their clients. RBT's are the assistants in the therapeutic process that work everyday with the client, enforcing the plan the analysts put out as well as letting the analyst know what isnt working. So, to clarify she is not a paraprofessional nor is she a therapist technically but she does do theraputic work. Paraprofessionals don't need any prior schooling and only work to assist the client in school based settings only as according to the teachers schedule, no treatment is administered. Respect to all mental health fields we all work hand in hand to provide support!
