Creating Effective Collaboration between RBTs and BCBAs/BCaBAs

How do RBT and BCBA/BCaBA typically work together?

Final answer: RBTs and BCBAs/BCaBAs typically work together by creating an account on Gateway, signing off on the RBT Competency Checklist, and maintaining regular communication and review meetings.

Explanation: Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) or Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts (BCaBAs) typically work together in providing behavior analysis services to clients. They collaborate by:

• Creating an account for the RBT on the Gateway system, which serves as a platform for managing client information, documentation, and communication.
• Signing off on the RBT Competency Checklist to ensure that the RBT has acquired the necessary competencies to provide effective behavior analysis services.
• Touching base via phone calls or email to review the RBT's progress, address any concerns or questions, and provide guidance.
• Meeting regularly, typically weekly, to review the RBT Task List, discuss client progress, and make any necessary adjustments to treatment plans.

This collaborative approach ensures that RBTs receive support, supervision, and ongoing training from BCBAs or BCaBAs, leading to effective treatment and progress for clients.
