Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) must spend at least 5% of their total monthly hours providing ABA services under supervision. This means if an RBT works 40 hours in a month, they must receive at least 2 hours of supervision during that month
. Key details about this supervision requirement include:
- Supervision must occur at least twice per month.
- At least one supervision session per month must be conducted in person and involve direct observation of the RBT working with clients
- The supervision can include direct observation, feedback, skill development, case review, and meetings without clients
- The supervisor must be a qualified BCBA or BCaBA who has completed required training in supervision
In summary, 5% of an RBT's total service hours monthly must be spent in supervision to ensure quality, ethical service delivery and to maintain certification compliance.
