Skill Acquisition focuses on teaching new skills to help individuals become more independent and improve their quality of life. RBTs play a key role in implementing skill acquisition plans developed by behavior analysts. These plans may target communication, daily living, social, or academic skills. RBTs use evidence-based teaching strategies such as discrete trial training (DTT), natural environment teaching (NET), and task analysis. Consistent data collection and reinforcement are essential for tracking progress. By following protocols and adapting instruction as needed, RBTs support meaningful behavior change.
