What is the purpose of the RBT Task List?

The purpose of the RBT Task List is to outline the minimum knowledge and skills required for individuals working as Registered Behavior Technicians. This list serves as a comprehensive framework detailing the essential competencies and responsibilities an RBT should possess in order to effectively provide behavioral intervention services. By defining these foundational skills and knowledge areas, the Task List helps ensure that RBTs are adequately prepared to support clients and implement behavior-analytic interventions with efficacy and professionalism.

This structured approach also functions as a training and assessment tool, guiding both educators in preparing candidates and organizations in evaluating the readiness of RBTs in the field.
