The Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) plays a crucial role in providing behavioral intervention services to individuals within the Autism Spectrum Disorder Crisis Support Homes (ASD CSH). This position is integral to the implementation of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) programs as directed by the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). The RBT is responsible for executing crisis plans that address various aspects of care including communication, behavior management, feeding, activities of daily living (ADLs), and social skills. These interventions are conducted in accordance with the policies set forth by Georgia Community Support and Solutions, Inc. (GCSS) and the Behavior Analyst Certification Board. The RBT will work closely with the BCBA to monitor the progress of the crisis plan, making necessary updates to ensure the effectiveness of the interventions. Services are provided in a three-bed short-term crisis home for children with autism spectrum disorders, as well as in family homes or other community locations. The children and adolescents served will typically have a diagnosis of intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) along with co-occurring psychiatric symptoms. The RBT is expected to collaborate with an interdisciplinary team, which may include licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychiatrists, psychologists, and other related service providers, as well as families and other agencies as appropriate. In this role, the RBT will be responsible for maintaining a safe and productive environment for the individuals served, ensuring that they receive the necessary support and interventions during times of crisis. The RBT will also be involved in training families on how to implement individualized treatment plans, thereby fostering a collaborative approach to care.
