What do Behavior Technicians do?
A behavior technician implements treatment plans under the supervision of a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA) to help clients develop new skills and reduce challenging behaviors, often using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) techniques.
Their duties include collecting data, teaching daily living and social skills, improving communication, and working with individuals, particularly children with autism spectrum disorder, in various settings like clinics, homes, and schools.
Responsibilities
Implement Treatment Plans: They follow individualized plans developed by a BCBA to teach skills like communication, self-help, and vocational abilities.
Data Collection: Behavior technicians record data on client progress to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment plan.
Skill Acquisition: They help clients learn new, functional skills and encourage the use of reinforcement to promote progress.
Behavior Reduction: Technicians work to decrease problematic behaviors that interfere with a client’s ability to learn and function.
Direct Client Interaction: They provide one-on-one and group therapy sessions, often involving play and active participation.
Parental Support: They may also support and train parents and caregivers to carry out strategies at home, ensuring continuity of care.
Collaboration: Technicians collaborate with the supervising BCBA, as well as other professionals, parents, and school staff.
Common Populations and Settings
Children with Autism: Behavior technicians commonly work with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to improve communication, social skills, and daily living skills.
Other Conditions: They also provide support to individuals with different conditions, including Down syndrome, substance abuse, PTSD, and eating disorders.
Diverse Environments: Their work can take place in various settings, including clinical settings, private homes, schools, and other community-based environments.
