Top 5 Most Important Traits of a Successful RBT Patience and Empathy: Having patience is essential when working with individuals with developmental challenges, while empathy helps an RBT approach situations with genuine care and understanding. Empathy fosters trust and connections which leads to our clients feeling understood and heard. Adaptability: When working with individuals with autism, adaptability is important as you will find each of our clients present with their own set of unique challenges and behaviors. RBTs must be flexible, and willing to adjust their communication style, approach, and even sometimes the environment to accommodate each individuals’ unique needs. Communication: RBTs interact with the client, their families, their supervising Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), as well as other team members, making it necessary to communicate clearly and with empathy. Whether an RBT is discussing treatment plans or giving feedback, being able to connect with others and share information effectively will enhance relationships and ultimately lead to better results. Problem-Solving: Working as an RBT means facing new challenges everyday. Having the ability to identify those challenges, analyze the situation, and creatively develop effective strategies to address the unique needs of our clients, is critical to aiding in their progress and development. Organization: An RBT must have strong organizational skills, as ABA therapy depends heavily on the data collected during treatment. It is essential for an RBT to be skilled in observing behaviors, keeping accurate records, maintaining session notes, and analyzing patterns. This skill set is vital for creating effective treatment plans and interventions. Does this sound like a good career fit for you?
