Overview
IBAO Board Approved Coursework
Autism Intervention Specialists is now an Approved Coursework Provider (ACP) by the IBAO for the International Behavior Therapist (IBT) that is equivalent to RBT.
The IBT is an accomplishment that shows the world that the individual is a competent behavior therapist and ready to provide effective, ethical, behavioral services in homes, schools, and a variety of community settings.
The International Behavior Therapist® (IBT) certification is obtained after a candidate demonstrates they have completed a 40-hour training, 300 hours of supervised practice, and supervision-related tasks and activities.
IBTs around the world provide behavioral services in a variety of settings and to a variety of clients. Most IBTs work with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Developmental or other disabilities, and those who require additional support with language development, challenging behavior, daily life skills, social skills, and learning supports. IBTs are typically hands-on, “front-line” therapists who deliver behavioral services directly to clients.
Typically, IBTs work as part of a team of behavior analysts and behavior therapists (IBTs). The IBT® is typically the person who implements behavioral supports designed and overseen by IBAs.
