A 40-hour training program built for paraprofessionals, paraeducators, teaching assistants, and school support staff in K-12 schools.

About the RBT® Certification Pathway
This course provides 40 hours of training designed to meet the BACB's 2026 RBT® training eligibility requirement. Completing this course is one step in the RBT® certification pathway — not certification itself.
After completing this course, you will still need to:
- Complete the RBT® Initial Competency Assessment, conducted by a qualified BCBA or BCaBA.
- Apply for RBT® certification through your BACB account at bacb.com.
- Pass the RBT® examination through Pearson VUE. BACB fees are currently $65 for the RBT certification application and $45 for the exam.
- Practice only under the direction and close supervision of a qualified RBT Supervisor.
This training program is designed to meet the 2026 training eligibility requirement for RBT certification. This training is offered independent of the BACB.

Learn more →Designed for America's Schools
Paraprofessionals and paraeducators are the backbone of special education in the United States — yet most RBT training is built for clinic settings, not classrooms. IDEA allows appropriately trained and supervised paraprofessionals to assist in the provision of special education and related services, and ESSA/Title I programs include specific paraprofessional qualification and professional-standard requirements. ABA Teacher's school-based training is built for that classroom reality.
Research on paraeducator professional development consistently identifies insufficient role-specific training as a barrier to supporting students' academic and behavioral needs in school settings.

Amanda Broadway, BCBA, PhD
Amanda has spent over two decades working in K-12 education — as a classroom teacher, school-based BCBA, inclusive education consultant, and systems-level trainer. She has worked directly alongside paraprofessionals, paraeducators, and teaching assistants and understands the gap they often face: being asked to support students with complex behavioral needs without training that feels practical, ethical, and grounded in real school settings.
ABA Teacher was built to close that gap — with training and supervision designed specifically for the people who show up every day in America's classrooms.
Amanda's active BCBA® certification can be verified through the BACB Certificant Registry at bacb.com.
ABA Teacher is an authorized continuing education provider.
Training and supervision built around the real work of schools: classroom schedules, team collaboration, ethical decision-making, documentation, inclusive education, and practical support for students with behavioral challenges.
