Assessment involves identifying a client’s strengths, needs, and preferences to guide effective behavior interventions. RBTs assist behavior analysts in conducting various assessments, including preference assessments, skill assessments, and functional behavior assessments (FBAs). They are responsible for collecting accurate data, implementing assessment procedures, and recording observations in a consistent manner. This process helps determine why behaviors occur and what strategies may be most effective in supporting the individual. RBTs must follow protocols precisely and maintain professionalism throughout the process.
