Meets the QABA training standards to sit for the RBT exam board

There are autism topics that we will discuss in this training to prepare you to sit for the RBT exam.  The topics are broken down to have a strong understanding of autism.  There will be readings, recordings, knowledge checks, and a cumulative assessment. It is important to thoroughly read all content to full comprehension.  This will ensure mastery on the exam and also give you the tools to perform well in your career as an RBT.

This training is designed to give basic knowledge you will need to be a competent RBT in the field.  We encourage you to ensure you have mastered the material in each competency section before proceeding.  You are encouraged to reach out to your supervisor for topics that are not 100% understood.  If you use outside sources for additional information, please ensure they are legitimate sites.  Usually sites that have .edu or .org are often good sources as opposed to social media sites.
