Come spend the day with me and join me during my RBT session:) Special thanks to my client's parents, BCaBA, BCBA, and agency for being supportive of my videos.

Just accepted my first RBT job! I am leaving a finance job and taking a significant pay cut, but so happy to finally have a job that gets me excited and motivated.
How has it been going?
Hi I am interested in this career. I am basically an Engineer. How to reach in this RBT position. Please advise me. Thanks.
Same ! I just got my offer letter today for my first RBT job 😭. I’m leaving tech (heavy pay cut) 🙂 but I’m so happy
@@Kay.channel how has it been?
@@theajeena0depends on what state you live.
Hi! you definitely lifted up my spirits. I’m currently an RBT and I have a 3 yr old and they are classified as a hard case. I have to keep reminding myself that their progress is not going to happen in 1 day but keep being persistent and consistent in their learning. She is my youngest and I’m used to working with 6+ yr olds who are more towards higher functioning. So I have to change my mindset but as I said, you’ve definitely motivated me to keep going. ☺️
I’m starting tomorrow and I’m so nervous! Can I ask how it went? Are you still an RBT? Any advice for a newbie?
How was your first session? And how long was it?
I'm glad I found you! It looks like this field of work is so rewarding and filled with compassion. I love it!
This was an awesome insight into your day! I just received the news today that I received an offer for an RBT position I've been holding out for for a really long time now! I hope I am able to make an impact in my clients lives like you have.
I am an rbt in florida i love your videos i am only 19 and it has been so hard for me to work with my clients because i dont have any experience but just watching your videos help me alot to have more confidence love itt thank youuu ❤️❤️
You are so welcome, you can do it!
I just got approved for training and I'm 19 also! Super excited to be getting on board with this RBT stuff! Wishing to become a Child Psychologist when I finish my Associates Degree in Psychology. Hang in there!
@@libertycheshire8887 Make sure you like research before committing to the field!
You're 21 now🥺
Your videos are the best I've found on UA-cam! Very informative, thank you!
I think I''ve watched all of your videos in the last few days. I'm a just-minted RBT but have been in the field for a year. Your videos are so helpful for getting new ideas! Keep it up!
Welcome to the field 👻 thank you!
Good video. I have. Hard client too. Sometimes I feel frustrated but I know we are doing god because there is a difference between first sessions and last. Thanks for your videos
Thank you for this video. You’re giving me hope as a parent that this therapy is worth a try.
It’s so interesting watching you use redirecting techniques!
thanks so much for your videos and your replies to questions. I started watching you when I first decided to become an RBT and you’ve been sooooo much help! I’ve been working as a BT (not registered yet) for 3 weeks and your tips and replies have made me so much more confident and capable. Thanks so much keep up the amazing work!
Welcome to the field!! I try to be as helpful and informative as I can, thank you for taking the time to provide me with positive feedback!
First time here and thinking about the rbt certification. New subscriber, I love your channel
I absolutely adore your methods! I’m fresh out of the navy, now joining the MHT community. You are my new online teacher. Thank you for sharing I hope to continue to see you make these beautiful/ incredible videos. Have a blessed day. Sending love from Texas 😇❤️❤️
Welcome to the field!!! 💙
Love it! I’m an RBT, and I love visiting your page for insight.
Thank you 💙💙
You're so great with the children! Thanks for your videos. : )
🥲💙
I just became an Behavioral Interventionist and honestly your videos help me soooo much
New subscriber-- your videos are so fun and informative! I'm a musician/music teacher originally, but after losing most of my gigs/students since March I've been looking for new options. I decided on EMS (currently working towards my EMT cert), but I started researching other "entry-level" medical positions and RBT really stood out to me. Watching this video reminded me how much I miss working with kids and enriching their lives in a direct way... it warmed my heart. What you do (or what anyone who works with kids does) makes SUCH a difference.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! What we do is very important and impacts so many lives! I love what I do. I’m so happy you came across my videos! If you want to learn more about the credential you can visit my website and read the blog posts on how to get certified www.abasource.com
I've been an RBT for 3yrs and love it but right now facing some burn out. I still do great work but home I'm so drained. I have 2 difficult cases where I often get the client 2 times in a day. Love the video!
Edit: clarifying I'm not in home but clinic :)
Discovered this career a couple of weeks ago. I’m currently a Caregiver doing respite homemaker and community connector but this is my next career goal.
hello im have been training to be a rbt and your videos have really helped me thank you im in florida tooo
Hi Anna 😀 this video was amazing! I love to see you working with the kiddos. How cool of the parents to let u share this with the channel. Please thank them for us. Hope all is well. ❤️🧩💕
It really is so cool of them and I am so grateful for their support! I will absolutely let them know❣️
My mind is blown. I began implementing before RBT was even a thing in 2008. I feel soooooo old now but I'm here for these videos
😍😍😍
Just started watching your videos. You honestly motivate me even more to become an RBT ive been considering it for a very long time
Go for it Karen! 🥳🥳
@@ABASource how many Karen’s do u deal with? lol
I’m so glad I’m found you! I just passed my test and I’m so also in Florida. I know your videos will help me.
I love this, i think im going to do great in my new field.
Your materials are awesome! Inspiring.
Thank you so so much 🥹
Some kids are more challenging than others. Keep in mind for those going into this field ♡ but you can learn and adapt and it builds strength!
I want to become an Rbt and been applying places Im so excited to be able to help others
I wish a good luck
Do it ! Its so much fun and so rewarding!
Thank you for this video! I have worked in Behavior Health Technicians here is. Today is my first day with a company in Arizona as an RBT. I am so excited and I am so nervous at the same time. I have my own child and I feel like I will be good at this job but I’m also very nervous. The job duties in general are a little different and in regards to multitasking. I can do a lot of things at once, but just knowing when, and how to engage or not engage in this case has been Difficult for me to comprehend, but I appreciate your support. Thank you.
Wow these are long sessions. I only have 1.5-2 hours. You're great with you clients!
Thank you ❤️
I have been working as a CNA, MA and caregiver but in a behavioral tech position and now I am actually studying for RBT exam so I am excited thanks for the video.
Watching because my daughter will be starting in home ABA next week and I wanted to try and see what to expect. I hope my specialist is as good as you! Thank you.
How’s it been so far?
I enjoy watching UA-cam videos I am so convinced I should get into this field.
Hi Shelly! That’s so awesome! I offer the course to become a RBT if you’re interested in getting started ☺️
I am 19 and just became a RBT and love watching these! Any advice for a deaf toddler ?
I just got a job as an RBT! I was super nervous but now I’m excited to do something good after watching you video!
Get excited!!! Congratulations 🎊🎈
I love this so much. I currently teach pre-K, which is my passion, but I am working on becoming a RBT. I. Can’t. Wait!
I teach pre k too and I am an RBT! It’s definitely a life saver and I’m proud to see another pre k teacher doing the same. I’m working towards my BCBA starting next week.
beautiful and it does work I see it everyday at work in the school setting (high school) wow amazing
I think this amazing .I want to change careers.I work in the Health care industry .Shift work .So I want to do this program thanks for shearing .I will persue RBT. I pass my Physiology class.
I just interviewed for this job, and was freaking out I wasn't gonna be able to do it until I watched your videos.
Thank you for your videos. I would like to know if you can do videos for older clients for example 18 and older.
Hello,Can you make a video talking about the behaviors and interventions that can be used for each behavior.thank you
the dog sunbathing 😂😂😂🌈🌈I want that dog's life lol. great video!❤️
You are so good. I have interview to just start, and get registered/trained
Awesome vlog cool👍💯
When becoming an RBT do you have to purchase your own learning games and strategies for the client ? Or do some agency’s supply that for you!
it depends on your center! I find myself buying a lot of my materials but you shouldn't HAVE to necessarily
starting my first day of training as a behavioral interventionist , hopefully all goes well :)
Good luck!
I love this so much!!! Could you do a video with your learning items that you use?
I HAVE ONE COMING OUT SOOOOOON 🥳🥳
I am so glad I am not the only one accumulating toys for my clients. lol 😅 Amazing video btw. How do you handle kids who don't seem to really like anything? I had this client that all he wanted was walk around the clinic and play in the seesaw. There was very difficult to motivate him to work. Please advise. Thanks! 🙂
Thank you
I am now working on my competency Assessment and in a need of some vedios like the one you did as examples for DTT
Are you going to publish any more vedios?
Highly appreciate your prompt response 😍
Hello, I want to take the RBT program but, I'm going to use crutches for a year. I see on your video that most of the worrk is pretty much sitting, but i have watch others videos where looks that's a lot physical work . I'm confuse. I will appreciate your help
Can you make a video about what you eat on the days you have a busy schedule ? I have clients back to back on Monday’s and I need to start bringing my lunch but I never know what to bring.
Or just could you comment about what you eat.
I had the same question. I would love to know what suggestions or ideas you have for lunch
Wow! I actually did film myself explaining what I had for lunch but I cut it out because I thought no one would care 🤣
I love watching this vlog it makes me so happy. Where do I sign up 😅❤❤
Hey hey!! I’m a RBT in Sarasota Fl!!
Thank you for you're video. I accepted a job offer as behavioral therapist. how long is you're activities you do with you're clients?
I am 3 months into Aba and my first and only client is non verbal. As of today, I feel like I’m a terrible BI. I don’t know how to understand her or get her to listen to me. I want to make sessions fun but I have no idea how to & also because she moves every few seconds. I feel like she’s always bored. Im feeeling like I should give up but something is telling me I shouldn’t.
Question you buy all these things for your clients? Are you given a budget from your company or no? Just curious.
I have a question. Do you get provided with a tablet or did you have to buy your own? Also, what programs do you use for the kids?
Do you have your own materials you're supposed to use with all of your clients or do your clients supply the toys and activities things, do you plan daily activities catered to each kid? how many clients do you have in one day? how many hours do you work per day and what are the hours
I’m debating taking a job as an RBT. First time for me and I’m nervous .
I just completed my 40 hours this past week and I meet my client tomorrow afternoon, ah! i'm so nervous!
You’ll do great (:
You didn't have to take the competency assessment first?? I finished my classes too but I need the exams
@@eliettydevesa my trialing was through my work so I got an advantage of meeting him before I even finished my exam. I was under the supervision of another RBT
@@savannahbuckner1420 thank you for responding 👍🤗
Do rbt's get paid by client? Or a regular 40 hour work week pay period.
Hi Anna! I love your videos! My title is “Advanced Behavior Technician” I love my job I do it part time in the evenings.
Q!!! Do you have frequent cancellations? Or what do you advice to BT’s that have frequent cancellations? I find that a lot of agencies don’t have a lot of protection for us when it comes to getting paid when a client cancels session. Please advise. 🙏🏽
Hi! thank you for sharing these videos because they are super helpful!! This may be a personal question but I hope it is okay to ask. Are you going to continue your education (graduate school)? If so, do you how that will look for you and your job? because I am planning to get a job as an RBT (in the future), but I also want to go to graduate school. So I just wanted to get some insight on how that would work. Thank you!
Hi 👋 I’m currently in graduate school taking all my classes online! It’s what makes most sense to me for how much I work :)
@@ABASource oh okay I see! thanks for replying :)
Real life we only wish kids were that easy to treat and functional
I'm a new RBT and love learning tips from your videos. I was just wondering how long your sessions with your clients are?
I spend 4-5 hours with each client. This does not include the time it takes me to drive to them. I have long days haha
@@ABASource Hi, please check your email. I would like to talk to you about somthing. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this knowledgeable video I have been really considering a masters in ABA or MSW I was doing a side by side comparison and they are similar in a way . I wanted to ask what fields in ABA can you get into? And do you have to pass the exam for RBT in order to become a therapist or can you go straight into taking the BCBA exam of course after meeting the 1500 or 2000 internship hours ? Thanks !
What is MSW?

Hey there! I've been watching your vids, super helpful info. I just finished my 40 hr cert and exam, I have a job lined up at a clinic and am just waiting for a new client so I can start working. I have a lot of questions, mostly I don't want to be in a clinic setting for long, I really want to be independent and be either in home or in school. Can I schedule a Zoom meeting with you for some info and chatting?
Hi Jessie! Yes absolutely, please follow this link to book with me ☺️ abasource.com/admin-consulting/
omg, I love your videos!!! I live in West Palm but I plan on working as an RBT in Broward :) I just finished my 40-hour training with PBS! Any tips on the competency assessment?
Hi Tina! Any updates? I’m going down the same route with pbs
@@woop645 well I got a job at a school in pompano as the ABA administrative assistant but now I’m gonna be a teacher assistant so I ended up doing something different lol
Nice videos
Glad you like them!
How long were you at their house?
What industries need behavior technicians can you work in physical therapy clinics?
Hello Ana thanks for your videos, I’m learning to much, but I have a dude how do you collect the data? I think is during the session but can we do both, the therapy and collect data at the same time, thanks
Yes absolutely!
what ipAd case do you have
Hey Anna! I just discovered your channel! I actually just got hired as an RBT and I officially start this Monday! Do you have any tips or general advice? Im pretty nervous and excited. I have a lot of experience working with children, but not too much when it comes to kids with autism. I finished grad school and only had one class on ABA, so I have the basic knowledge.
Hey! I have a interview today for RBT.. Are you still working with children? Do you like it?
@@marissadelacruz8818 sooo yeahhhh I tried it, but it wasn't for me. The way the company explained the job and the way things went were completely different. So now I am a mental health therapist for kids..LOL
@@hahaits aww dang can you explain why it didn’t work? I’m interviewing as well and don’t know what to expect from an agency:(
@@jojosplace The first thing was I thought it was going to be more structured one on one with the client, but it was more of running around going to different sensory rooms and redirecting a lot of their behaviors. And for the younger children, a lot of it was chasing after them. It takes a lot of patients. There are going to be a lot of tantrums and the kids having a hard time following directions. The biggest thing you have to know is that each kid is different and their needs are going to be different. You basically have to think of it as you have to teach the kids everything from the ground up pretty much.
(2) like teaching them how to eat, how to ask for things, how to socialize, etc It was just too much for me to handle. Also, its a lot of rewarding behaviors to. I mostly shadowed with the younger kids, so I am not sure about the older kids.
This seems like something I want to do. When you go to your clients house do you come up with the activities and instructions for them? Or do the parents do that instead?
I love how after a whole day that seemed relatively exhausting -- did not show on your face whatsoever!
*What's the best way to find RBTs to hire?*
Hi, I have enjoyed watching your RBT videos. I love your passion and can do attitude. I honestly need to push myself this way whenever I feel that things are hard. I really appreciate your content. I have a question, do you think undertaking this training and working as an RBT can boost one if he or she has done course work in Mental Health Counseling? If so, could you please share with me some of the benefits and opportunities in line with this? Thank you so much Turi! :)
You’re so so sweet thank you 💖💖💖
Do you have to go to client’s houses as a technician?
Could you link that book you were working on with your boy client.... the one with beginning letters
Yes😀 I was gonna ask her the same thing. The one that he used with the bingo daubers. It looks perfect for my son.
omg do you have like a rolling suitcase for all your materials you take into the clients home? I need that!!!
Yessss! Look at this one 👀 abasource.com/product/toy-tote/
Hi , I’ve been trying to get into your calendly to book a session about rbt but is the app not working rn ? Not able to access. Thx
Hi Linda! Here is the link! calendly.com/abasource
Do you buy your own supplies?? 😮
Hello Anna, I find that many RBT positions on indeed are looking for you to have experience working with children with disabilities. Any suggestions on how to gain experience before getting your license. I already graduated HS so I can’t do best buddies lol.
You can get experience via working at a pre-school for a few months to a year. You'll usually work with special needs children. The pay is not very good , but it gets your foot in the door while you do the 40 hrs of RBT training and apply to Behaviour tech jobs.
Do most RBT's buy their own supplies
Hi am applying for the Behavioral therapist position. The company states they will train to become registered. I was wondering if it's best to already have taken the 40 hour training and even CPR or BLS prior to starting with any job for better chances a higher pay rate.
you would probably be better off yes
where did you get the little blue thing which helps the client for the correct pen grid?
Amazon!
I live in florida where can I take my rbt course online? cuz the college i go to does not offer it.
Did you find a place?
🦩
what company do you work with? do they give you drive time and help provide the supplies you have? if so you're so lucky! i would love to work for a company like that. If not, you are so amazing at your job! wow!
They provide neither 🥲
What’s your salary in FL?
So how many clients do you normally work with in one day?
2
Hi thank you for sharing your video. Do RBT’s get paid more if they travel to their clients home?
The location is Not necessarily a factor
Im looking into this career and it seems that there’s not much work/life balance 😵💫 it seems easy to get burnt out
What are your hours
what apps do you use? i am thinking of bringing my tablet to my sessions
I have a video on this!!! Take a peek at my other videos you will find it :)
How many clients did you see in a day?
2!
Hi,you have earned yourself a subscriber. I was searching for how to become a certified autism specialist and I stumbled on your video. After watching it I am fulfilled.

So happy! Welcome to the family. I offer the entire RBT certification course on my website if you would like to get it done through me 😊
