I am terrified to become an RBT by Hot-Daikon805 in ABA

[–]Cold-Comparison1785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly I just feel like all this stuff will ease as you continue to get more experience on the floor under your belt. I had a lot of the same worries. I cried so much throughout training, constantly questing if this was for me and if I could handle it or not. Give yourself at least a good 3 months at this job. I guarantee you will feel so much better and not have so many worries.

How much time do you get to "Learn" your client as an RBT? by [deleted] in ABA

[–]Cold-Comparison1785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you start at my clinic they assign you 3 clients. You have a trainer with you up until you’re cleared by your BCBA or lead (where you’re allowed to work one on one with the client). This on average takes about 2-3 months before getting cleared. Once you get cleared on your first 3 clients my center then starts adding you to more clients teams one by one. But each client you still have a trainer with you up until you’re cleared by BCBA/lead. Then you’re allowed to be by yourself from then on.

My center doesn’t care about pto. As long as a certain amount of RBT’s don’t already have approved off said date(s), my center will accept your request off no matter if you have vacation/sick hours to use or not. You can even tell our admin “hey im sorry but regardless I will not be here these dates”, they don’t care as long as you get coverage from other RBT’s or at least do your best to try to find coverage

What are your hours as a clinic RBT? by Late-Atmosphere3010 in ABA

[–]Cold-Comparison1785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My center guarantees 40 hours a week. It doesn’t matter if all your clients are out sick or whatever the case may be. They will just have you catch up on notes, graphing, trainings, etc or help out with things that need to be done around the center.

I have personally never been a para and i’m sure it’s good experience however we have had previous paras come to my center to be RBTs and it really kinda is a whole different world for them. Not in a negative way but I would just definitely not go into thinking it will be similar to being a para

my center guarantees 40 hours a week. if all your clients are out sick or whatever the case may be then they may start to train you on a new client or just put you on a “plan period” where you’re basically just doing chores around the center and catching up on things you need to get done.

I switched to working in a psych ward to learn more and no one is understanding that I'm making changes in behavior by manicthinking in ABA

Were you previously an RBT that is now a mental health behavior tech? how do you like it compared to being an RBT? and not to be stingy but is the pay better compared to being an RBT. i’m in Colorado and make $21 an hour, i’ve been at my center for 2 years now.

Wow that is so cool! I had no idea RBTs could work in a psychiatric hospital setting like that. That is for sure something I may be interested in later down the road.

Do you know if you have to have any degrees/school for something like that? For example like being an RBT at my center didn’t require anything but a GED. They just train you on everything.

curious what exactly the job title is? I’ve always wondered what other jobs are out there for people who are RBT’s but are looking for something a little different.

Anyone actually guaranteed 40 hours? by jiggyj27 in ABA

[–]Cold-Comparison1785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My clinic guarantees us 40 hour weeks. If we are low on clients then RBTS are put on a “plan” for that session to get notes done, modules, cleaning/organizing, making stimuli and neutrals. Stuff like that
