In addition, the competency assessment evaluates a basic skill base but does not address essential areas such as client engagement, executing individualized treatment sessions or receiving and providing feedback to supervisors. In a market in which highly skilled RBTs are a valuable necessity, the BACB has not outlined a path for advancement and growth. This presentation will reveal how Caravel's approach to training RBTs has filled this gap in training as the number of RBTs that Caravel employs has grown from 90 to over 800. Caravel's innovative training program entails onboarding training as well as sequenced skill development toward higher RBT competencies. The onboarding training program satisfied the BACB's RBT guidelines as well as training on key components of an individualized, quality, assent-informed intervention. Learn about this exciting program which is comprised of individualized asynchronous training, live virtual training, and in-person training and assessment which provides opportunities for ongoing RBT growth.
