The RBT Competency Assessment is a required step in becoming a Registered Behavior Technician. A qualified assessor (BCBA or BCaBA) observes you demonstrating essential RBT skills. Here is what to expect and how to prepare.

What Is Assessed

• Measurement: Correctly collecting and recording behavioral data
• Assessment: Assisting with preference assessments and data collection during assessments
• Skill acquisition: Implementing teaching procedures like DTT and NET correctly
• Behavior reduction: Following behavior intervention plans accurately
• Documentation and reporting: Proper data recording and communication
• Professional conduct: Maintaining ethical behavior and appropriate boundaries

Tips for Success

Practice each task area thoroughly before assessment. Review your 40-hour training materials. Ask your supervisor for mock assessments. Stay calm and follow protocols step by step.
