RBT-IBT
Mentorship Cohort
March - May 2024

Building a system of support and guidance for RBT and IBTs as you navigate your role and career.

Mentorship is the perfect way to elevate your RBT or IBT skillset.

The 40-hour course is a gateway.

Technical skill repertoires are gained through practice and great supervision.
  • What about the non-technical stuff?
  • The confidence,
  • The advocacy,
  • The knowing why behind the implementation 

In here, it’s not about the task list,
In here, it’s about you - The practitioner.
In here we shape confidence and advocacy.
In here you will learn to leverage your unique abilities.
In here you will learn to make better decisions.

Monthly live sessions provide a platform to share your experience and get feedback and guidance from an International Behavior Analyst with over 25 years using ABA to improve the lives of people.
Write your awesome label here.
In here we will …
Self-reflect – values assessment, yes please!
Get back to basics – the 7 dimensions are our jam
Improve own own behavior with ABA – self management
Learn how ABA is everywhere, but not everything – look outside the box
Remember that we gain stimulus control, not behavioral control – our clients change their behavior, we support them
Recognize the science as limitless – ABA is not population specific
Think about our clients, their caregivers and our role – a good therapist works their way out of a job
Share our experiences with a focus on what is going well – this is not a space for complaining
Leverage the experience of others - inspiration can strike at any time
Focus on self and client advocacy – your voice matters
Bridge the gap between research and application – we are not working with pigeons and rats
Learn the difference between experimentation and application – our clients are people and deserve to be treated with dignity
