Behavior therapists provide 1:1 instruction to clients using techniques from the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), as directed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). In addition to teaching new skills, they collect data on the client’s progress and provide caregivers with in-the-moment modeling and coaching.
At Kyo, our behavior therapists receive over 50 hours of training before they start to work with clients. They must also pass a DOJ and FBI background check, TB test, and be vaccinated for COVID-19. Kyo behavior therapists must maintain a Registered Behavior Technician certification or other state-specific ABA licensure.
