This blog will give you an inside look at what it’s like to work as a behavioral technician at BM Behavioral Center. We will highlight the unique aspects of our workplace.
What is a Behavioral Technician?
A behavioral technician, also known as an ABA technician, is a professional who works closely with individuals who have behavioral health needs, particularly those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These technicians are critical in implementing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, a scientifically proven method for improving specific behaviors, communication skills, and social interactions.
Behavioral technicians are responsible for working directly with clients to execute treatment plans designed by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). They collect data on client progress, help develop new behavior modification strategies, and ensure each session is effective and engaging.

- Implementing ABA Therapy: Behavioral technicians use ABA techniques to help clients develop necessary life skills. This includes breaking down complex behaviors into manageable tasks and reinforcing positive behaviors.
- Data Collection and Analysis: Accurate data collection is crucial for tracking client progress and adjusting treatment plans as needed. Technicians meticulously record data during each session to provide BCBAs with the information needed to tailor interventions.
- Client Interaction: Building rapport with clients is essential for effective therapy. Technicians create a supportive and encouraging environment to motivate clients and help them feel comfortable during sessions.
