General Info
ABA Courses offers the internationally recognized 40-hour RBT, ABAT, and IBT training.
You will learn everything you need to know to work effectively with individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, Intellectual Disability, and Down Syndrome.
In addition, ABA can also be applied to individuals who are developmentally delayed and have behavioral problems. The course is based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), the proven intervention method. This theory is based on Skinner and behavioral therapy. Our courses are based on the official worldwide Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) course, Applied Behavior Analysis Technician (ABAT), International Behavior Therapy (IBT) and are designed to meet the 40-hour training requirement for the RBT, ABAT and IBT certificate.

The course is structured as follows:

  • Study the PowerPoint slides (English) and listen to the audio (English) at the same time. 
  • In addition to this theory that is clearly presented, there are also many videos that show real-life situations.
  • The end of a chapter is completed by a short test, which will help you complete the final test. The chapters are all divided by topic.
  • At the end, there is a final test, and once you pass it, you will receive a certificate for the ABAT, IBT, and RBT.

What is ABA?
ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA started in the 1960s with Skinner. It is based on the science of learning and behavior. Behavior Analysis helps to understand how behavior works, how behavior is affected by the environment, and how learning takes place.

Why do you use ABA?
The goal is to increase behaviors that are helpful and decrease behaviors that are harmful or affect learning. ABA can help:
  • Increase language and communication skills
  • Improve attention, academic skills, play skills, social skills, memory, and executive functioning skills 
  • Decrease problem behaviors (tantrums, not listening, aggressive behaviors, addictive behaviors)

What is the certification for Registered Behavior Technician ™ (RBT), Applied Behavior Analysis Technician ® (ABAT), and the International Behavior Therapist ® (IBT)
The Registered Behavior Technician™ (RBT) is a paraprofessional who practices under the close, ongoing supervision of a BCBA, BCBA-D, or BCaBA. The RBT is primarily responsible for the direct implementation of behavior-analytic services. The RBT does not design intervention or assessment plans. It is the responsibility of the RBT supervisor to determine which tasks an RBT may perform as a function of his or her training, experience, and competence.

The Applied Behavior Analysis Technician (ABAT) is a paraprofessional who practices under the close, ongoing supervision of a QBA, or QASP-S. The ABAT is primarily responsible for the direct implementation of behavior-analytic services. The ABAT does not design intervention or assessment plans. It is the responsibility of the ABAT’s supervisor to determine which tasks an ABAT may perform as a function of his or her training, experience, and competence.

The International Behavior Therapist (IBT) is a trained paraprofessional in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). IBTs work directly with individuals to teach skills in communication, socialization, daily living, play, and learning. They use evidence-based ABA strategies to help clients reach individualized treatment goals. IBTs collect data on progress, follow treatment protocols, and adjust teaching based on a supervisor’s guidance. They do not design or modify treatment plans themselves but implement the programs created by their clinical supervisor. IBTs always work under the supervision of an International Behavior Analyst. 

Who can be a Registered Behavior Technician™ (RBT), International Behavior Therapist ® (IBT) Applied Behavior Analysis Technician ®?
The RBT/ABAT training is for educators, parents, and other professionals who would like to learn evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles and strategies for helping clients and family members with developmental challenges, various disorders, and/or behavior challenges. In addition, ABA can be used in management processes as well.
