Quick recap from the NEW 12/25 BACB Newsletter.
RBTs are still leaving the field mainly because of pay, scheduling, and lack of support. We can absolutely do better here.
RBT requirements change in 2026, including training updates, a new test outline, and a two-year recert cycle.
BCBA pathways shift too, and licensure laws still apply even if you hold certification.
If you supervise RBTs or mentor students, these changes will impact your work heading into 2026.
Who has directly experienced RBT turnover?? I’ve been the RBT and the BCBA. Raise 🤚
