WOW I'm currently an RBT why don't they tell rbts this. Now this changes everything about me reconsidering going this route
Thank you so much for your insight! Especially regarding the BCBA exam.👍🏽 I’m in my final semester of graduate school and plan to take the test once my degree is conferred but already a little anxious about this exam. Your advice helped! Thanks!
I’m glad I could help! Thank you for watching and subscribing!

This was great, but I still have a few questions! (Also, you addressing the ABA "bribery" myth got cut out somehow.)
Does being a BCBA require a lot of supervising and working with RBTs? I'm trying to decide whether I want to become an autism/IDD researcher or autism/IDD-focused BCBA but if it's going to be a lot of supervising and managing RBTs I don't know if becoming a BCBA would be worth it for me. I want to work with the clients, not supervise my colleagues!
If you want to move from one ABA field to the other (e.g. autism/IDD to animal training), would that require going back to school and getting hours in that other field? Or would it just be a matter of finding a new job at a clinic/practice that specializes in that other field and applying your previous experience?
Finally, can you be both a BCBA and a researcher? I know you can be a BCBA-D, where you would have the license to conduct research with a PhD, but I assume you'd have to go through a lot of schooling and certification.
You're absolutely right in that ABA can be applied to a variety of fields - other disabilities besides autism, mental health, animal training, therapy for guiding children/adults through "typical" development, OBM, sports coaching, gerontology, even forensics/criminal profiling/criminal justice! The sky is truly the limit, unfortunately insurance doesn't agree.
Another common myth being bandied about is that ABA is "abuse" that causes trauma and that it seeks to act as conversion therapy for autism. As someone who is both autistic and has worked as an RBT, I don't think I've met a single RBT or BCBA who has sought to "cure" autism in an autistic person or done anything that would cause trauma or be considered abusive.
I know I've commented on your videos before, so I might sound like a broken record, but keep doing what you're doing! You've really provided me a lot of insight into the world of ABA and what my professional life might look like further down the road.
I was going to leave it in but that a whole other video about me explaining how positive reinforcement works.
