Support: Assists with daily activities, behavioral support, academic engagement, general classroom participation, collecting data, and provide daily progress notes. An RBT is a level 3 paraprofessional who has undergone specific training in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

Assists with daily activities, academic engagement, general classroom participation, and provide daily progress notes. Data & Analysis: Responsible for extensive data collection, graphing, and analysis to track student progress.
