RBTs in Public Schools
Beginning July 1, 2022, Registered Behavior Technicians will be allowed to provide Applied Behavior Analysis services for students in Florida’s Public Schools due to the addition of RBTs in the definition of “Private Instructional Personnel”.
FABA will meet soon with Department of Education representatives in an effort to coordinate smooth implementation by school personnel and behavior analysts.
